Change your Username by yourself

[MarkG]

if you want to change your username, you can now do it by yourself through a simple page!

notes:
- your whole profile will be kept. post count, personal info, everything
- your old posts will keep the old username
- others have tested it on other forums, but I have yet to test it here. it's not like I changed everything, the script is 100% the same that it's author provides
still, we need a brave man

testing...

Who do you think this is?

[Mr. Demesos]

hmmm... It even works with the date registered!

[Black Bart]

can I change it back later. I've had a few user names here. Note they aren't double logins, one was given a vacation, but I was too lazy to e mail ming to get him back.

Is there any way to combine them?

[Mr. Demesos]

Hmm... it deletes your old one.

[MarkG]

you can change it back if you like

you cant combine usernames

[Bill3000]

there, changed back.

[Bill3000]

[MarkG]

I'm not going to be Ah's hoof for 7 days - I don't care what you say

[My Wife Hates CIV]

If I change my name can someone else use my MWHC name while mine is changed??

[Alexander's Horse]

Do it MWHC, do it and we'll see.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

Forget that. I'm an icon here. I'm not messing with my name. MWHC will live on forever!!!

You know, with all the silly rules here that MarkG places on us for all the nutty reasons this is the LAST thing I would have thought he would do. Why?? Talk about people just getting stupid with a new little toy. It's like he just begs for problems.

However I find this feature very interesting. I have been thinking for some time to get back to my old CDB handle (a true "icon" on other forums, not on this one ) This gives me the chance to do it without losing my veteran status. Gotta think about it a bit more.
