Change your Username by yourself

[Celestion The God]

As you can see, I have taken advantage of this new policy to attain godhood. Being all-seeing, I have managed to find a minor bug. The Location Field on the posts does not work correctly. For example, if you look at the Giant Squid post earlier on this thread, the Location Field is that used by Trappist. In http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum23/H...674.html?38#38 , it is that used by The Mad Monk. I would use my omnipotence to change this, but I feel I ought to leave some problems for you mortals to solve so you can occupy your pathetically short lives.

</font>Ouch, I had changed my username to Tom' (I just like to be known as Tom so
my last name is superfluous), and tested the 60 day thing by trying to change
it back to Tom DeMille. To my surprise, I was able to.
(ReReading Markos' messages at the start of this thread, he does say that you
are able to switch back, so no big surprise I guess).

OK, now I'm all confused...can someone who's changed their login try this?

Oh...and how come people who do this get the title of Apolyton Co-Administrator from Greece?

[Mark von Wagner]

Celestion, did it really take that much to notice the problem? Some of us mortals noticed it long ago.

Markos, I just read the "login changes archive" thread and noticed that you said that Winston changed his name to Legman yesterday. But Legman has been posting here for some time now, even before we could change our logins, so he can't possibly be Winston.

Since I like to know who all those new names really are, could you please find out what went wrong and fix it?

[Legman]

No need to worry, Paul. It's a bit complicated to explain, but I assure you everything is in perfect order, and I am who I've always been. If need be, DanQ will be able to confirm this, but I hardly think it necessary.

Winston had asked to disable his login as he left the site for a while, and he later registered again as Legman. He now requested to delete Legman and change Winston to Legman so that he can keep the registration date of Winston. I hope you're not confused

[Paul]

Now that you explained it I am no longer confused. I just like to know who is who and thought that you might have made a mistake when you posted the latest update to the login changes.

[Empress]

I think the whole idea is just too confusing...

[N35t0r]

Too bad i can't change my username to a blank space

I have always wanted to be BlueWaldo instead of that dumb Blue Waldo guy.
