Title: Change of user names
Post by: Qhimm on 2002-02-24 20:29:00: As some of you may have noticed, all members now have the power to change their user names. I do this to relieve some of the workload for me and SaiNt, but use it with moderation. Do NOT change your user name unless it's absolutely necessary, since people will find it hard to keep track of your identity. If I find that people use this service recklessly, I will disable it again.

Post by: PurpleSmurf on 2002-02-25 22:48:00: i suppose this is good a place as any:

is there a definable limit on a username lenght? and if so can it be disable temporarily?
Title: Change of user names
Post by: Qhimm on 2002-02-26 22:33:00: Since you ask, yes there is a limit. And no, I don't find anything useful in disabling it.

Post by: PurpleSmurf on 2002-02-27 00:12:00: i guess i'll try it out on my own board. but i believe, as you can so this with forum names, you can use html in the name. i was just curious if this board was capable. i wrote some code for it but it was far too long to use as a name. anyway just an idea. i'll report my sucess back when i try it out.

Post by: Qhimm on 2002-02-27 08:57:00: HTML in user names is NOT allowed. If you're dying to know what I'll do if you do, please feel free to try it out though. :evil:

Post by: Sephiroth 3D on 2002-02-28 07:39:00: I like the first one, but I think it's too tall. My next fav is prob the third one.

However, I think the best one would be just taking the :evil: and pasting the :D 's smile on it.
