Get a avatar.

Was the PM sent before the name was changed?

Wouldn't that be "get an avatar"??

**Skanky Burns** · February 17, 2004, 21:21

Yes it would.
My guess would be the same as Gramphos'.

The next pm they send you should be under their new screen name.

**Dis** · February 18, 2004, 03:58

not it was sent just a few days ago. And they have had that screen name for at least 6 months. no biggie. I hardly get any PM's anyways

And I do have an avatar.

**Skanky Burns** · February 18, 2004, 04:06

Out of curiosity, who sent it?

**Dis** · February 18, 2004, 04:16

disregard. I figured it out.

please close this thread now.

What was the reason?

Unless you tell us, we will be forced to conclude it was a user error (as in You stuffed up).

**Dauphin** · February 18, 2004, 08:09

They changed their name back again.

**Gramphos** · February 18, 2004, 09:26

They?

Is is a multiple person login?

He got a PM from his own DL, but it was a different one from the one he thought it was.

English grammar, at least in the spoken vernacular, permits 'they' to be used as the singular, usually when the gender is unknown.

Only for the anally retentive.

Why does a PM I recieve from somebody still show their old screen name?
