• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Username Changing

    I changed my name and changed it back, but I kept it for five months in between. I'm not saying don't ever change your name at all; I'm saying don't change your name constantly.

    Username Changing

    Because it is insanely annoying to other members to have to keep up with you changing your name every couple of weeks. Though it seems the existence of the username hack has made everyone feel obligated to change it monthly, which isn't honestly that much better. For the love of God, pick a...

    Username Changing

    Being able to change your name immediately after signing up is useful; if you made a typo with your sign-up name, for instance, or thought you couldn't have spaces, or something like that, having to wait three months to change it would just be annoying.

    What happens when you try?

    Username Changing

    ...oh, wait, that was silly of me. Sorry. Fixed now, for real.

    Username Changing

    Should be fixed. Sorry.

    Username Changing

    Oh, right, the thing that checks if you can change your name was still trying to find a name change in the hack's history table rather than vBulletin's native one. Changed that to use that table too; should work.

    Username Changing

    Butterfree, Dragonfree and antialiasis are all defined as forbidden usernames outside of all that, as a measure against impersonation. No matter how long I am Bachuru, nobody can register under any of those names, or change their names to one of them. You will be able to do that, when the time...

    Username Changing

    This is the time during which you can't change your name to a name that used to exist. If it's the same as the time between name changes, then you will be allowed to get your name back. If I made it longer, you wouldn't, unless you waited a while.

    Username Changing

    I found the setting; it was set to two months. Set it to one month instead, since that rhymes with the name changing limit. Still keeping it around, because with people changing usernames, it is somewhat dangerous to let people register under a name somebody else has been using.

    Username Changing

    Yes, like I said in one of my earlier posts, it won't let you change names to a name that has been in use recently except in the admin CP.

    Username Changing

    The two other names was actually because when I changed my mind about having my name in allcaps, that turned out to be a headache to fix because usernames aren't case sensitive and the forum figured "oh, no, somebody already has that username!" So I had to change my name to Denchura in between...

    Username Changing

    Dude, I've had the same name for eight years of running this website and the literally one time I change it you start going "If she changes her name much more..."? Hm, I'm not sure how Opera can not be showing it. It is just a standard title attribute, after all.

    Username Changing

    You will only see anything if the person has changed their name; could that be it?

    Username Changing

    It's thirty days. For some reason only some name changes are appearing in the username history table; I don't get why. On the other hand, I also just discovered that vBulletin keeps track of changes of profile fields by itself now, so maybe I can modify the hack to just not use the hack's table...

    Username Changing

    Oh, I made a mistake with the template edit in the vertical postbit template. That would explain why it was working for some people (including me) and not others.

    Username Changing

    The username changing hack we used to have a while ago is back and seems to be working fine, since I just changed my name with it. (Hover over my username on this post - you should see "Butterfree" listed as a previous username.) Same rules - you can only change your name once a month unless you...
