Wll I requested a new username a few days ago and It's still not changed. I already have a signature with my new username in it, and it looks so stupid when I still have my old one. You said it would be approve within 48 hours, and It's been a few days by now.

Why is it taking so long?

Omdat de administrator (Raz) momenteel aan het genieten is van een vakantie.

and what if the person is from french speaking part of belgium?

(plus..i didn't know that dutch is so easy... you said "because(?) raz is on the vacation at the moment )

Yes he said that!
It's ok, I speak dutch. So vacation eh. Then I'll just have to wait. Thanks for the info.

storm is a 'she'

next time it's perhaps better to write down somewhere that it's better to first check if Raz is active before asking a namechange

Kinda


lol

A most interesting bump. Nice new Username by the way.

Hello there, everyone.

About one week ago from now, I requested a change of name. The request was replied by that I should wait 24-48 hours and I will get approved (If the name is okey, I guess).

The problem right now is, I have been waiting way longer than 48 hours. I have probably about 120 hours, if not even more

My question is following;
How long does it take for a name change, at tops? I can be patient, but I would really like to know how long I am expected to wait

/Best of wishes- Kaldorei.

maybe until Raz Almighty appears

I think Raz is away for a bit.

My advice is wait it out a bit longer.

Raz is currently absent. Be patient.

Oh, I see. I will have to endure then. I guess it is a good thing, as I really need to learn how to be patient Thank you, all.

i hate to tell you this... but he usually changes them within a few days... he may have decided that he didn't want to approve... one way to check this is to go back to the name change forum and check you name(s) it will have either "Approved" "Denied" or "Pending" by whatever you entered for your new name... I have never, however, known him not to change names... i have the stupidest reasons, but mine always gets changed, hell i've changed it several times... PM him and see what's up...

Um, no, that's not it at all. It's exactly as Storm said; Raz is currently absent.

Well, he have not been online for some time. I guess he has to log into the forum in order to see the requests.

Latest login date for him was 24th January.

Where can I find this Approved/Denied/Pending forum?

I however could not think of any reason that 'Marie-Lee' should be denied

Well, thank you for telling me this

ah, if it's been used, he'll deny it, but if he's absent, i s'pose tha's all the problem... whaddo i know?

Ye hes been oflline for a while now,I've been waiting to see if he knows anything about my account crisis.

Be patient.



Raz always delivers.

I believe he does I will be patient

I am glad I came to this forum and seen this thread. I also asked for a name change and have wondered why he hasnt replied.I dont mind waiting though and I hope all is well with him.

Patience is a game...

I only ask this because my new name has been awaiting approval for 11 days.

So I was just wondering if he is on a vacation, or what.

Raz is currently not available.

I also made a request, but haven't got a reply, so I believe when they say that he's not available. I promise to be patient.

Regards, Yvonne

Considering he hasn't been online in 15 days, yeah...I'd say he's not available.

I think we all know he is not available.

Raz is doing "Raz things", right now.


Raz will appear when Raz wants to. Only then, will he answer your heathen requests.

When Raz gets back, can someone ask him if it would be possible for us to get a link back to the forums at the bottom of the thread, rather than having to scroll all the way back to the top if we have nothing to say in the thread?

We have it so hard these days, don't we?

What's wrong with using the back button?

i have to say i haven't changed my user name once since i joined a little over 3 years ago lol. I might one day, you never know.

You have to scroll down to see it sometimes.

When the last page is a post you're typing, the last page isn't where I want to go.

Check that little box that says "return to forum after post".

Or just use the forum jump, as it defaults to the forum you're in...

You have to first evaluate the choices of buttons you have and then press the correct one, stupid! Geeze, most of you here are so clueless about things.

some people make suggestions in the wrong thread and others just make stupid inappropriate comments while trying to act smart and failing to see the flaws in their own comments ermm

guess who fell into the hole of stupidity?
EVERYONE!!! except me... cause you can't fall into a place you're already at.

I posted a name change request almost a month ago and was wondering if it was denied or something else. My last name change took about a week and I know Raz is a busy man but I saw some new updates to the site and wondering if I need to resubmit my request.

It will list your history.

Wow my first name change was 1144 days ago. So, wazzup Raz? XD

What do you want to change your name to, Case?

Originally posted by Raz
Submit it again. OK, will do and thank you.

Edit: I tried to resubmit but it says that it has already been taken but I don't find any users with that username "The Pittman" or are spaces not allowed in them?

Originally posted by Impediment

I'm still having the same problem

I tried changing it again today to "The Pittman" but it still says that it has been taken, when I first submitted the change it went through just fine so I don't know if it has been locked since the first submission.

Someone might have had it in the past..

You've had it in the past.

"The Pittman" is considered the same as "ThePittman" - spaces removed when comparing.

Odd, one of mine is missing.

Manual changes made by me aren't listed there.

I submitted a change request like 4 days ago. What's going on?

You have to wait for Raz to sign on.

it's been seven days since i filed a new name for approval...

Originally posted by J.P Jaeh_Poole

I hope he's alright.

Wouldn't it be more expedient to delegate the name-changing authority to one of the globals, since they're on more often?

and that's the problem right there...

brainchild: ..he's probably.. er, busy? *shrug*

Stranglove: I'm inclined to agree for i've been waiting on my new username for quiet a while now...

I've been waiting for my name change for 10 days now.

Anyone have any idea when Raz is going to be back from vacation?

Strangelove: I agree with you there. Or maybe appoint a temporary admin while Raz is away...

Name changes aren't exactly a top priority, though.

People really shouldn't have to wait, like, a monthto have something as simple as a name change done.

I think that Global's should get the power to do it as well. That's the reason for Moderator's existence in the first place, to branch out the responsibilities. I really don't think it's fair to Raz to have to do all of the name changing for thousands of members (Not literally, you get the point), when he has so many G.Mods around, and it's not fair to others for the one man in charge of it to disappear like that without saying something.

All of this is no offense to Raz, of course. The man works his ass off.

Definition of moderator:

"1. One that moderates, as:
a. One that arbitrates or mediates.
b. One who presides over a meeting, forum, or debate."

They are here to keep the topics and members under control basically as babysitters, not to branch out the responsibilities. That's the job of the parent, aka the administrator.

Basically, yes.

And considering that name changes are a privilege and don't have to be allowed at all (for a very long time, they weren't)...I think you can deal with waiting for a little while.

To be fair everything on a private site is a priviledge. Is there a specific reason why Raz is the only one that OKs name changes?

Because, assuming that vBulletin's setup is similar to that of other boards, you need to access the admin control panel to do stuff like that.

Is a name change really that bothersome to some people? You liked the name enough to originally choose it, what's another month wait until you can change it so it's in line with the latest movie fad? Just take a deep breath and accept that you'll have to wait for your Watchmen, Batman, or any other comic to movie adaptation themed name.

And to access the Admin Control Panel gives you access to do whatever you want to the rest of the forum and once mistake can see the forum wiped clean.

That sounds like a pretty good reason.

Username changes, IMO, should be delegated to Raz, the Admin, only. Like Ken and Lana said: to change a username, one has to access the vB controls, and one screw up could spell S-H-I-T for KMC. Why Raz hasn't signed on in months is none of my business. Maybe he has better things to do. All I can say is: be patient, my friend.

This forum is an Absolute Despotism...we should just be happy with how good it is.

...how'd we get here? i was just asking, quite innocently, i might add, if anyone knew where he was.. *shrug*

i see your points, though, even though i'm still quite confused where they all came from.

would be fn if i get my name changed soo though, but i can wait... *shrug*

Ofcourse, it is a waiting game.

Because he's a kiss ass?

Name changes have been processed. Apologies for the delay.

thanks Raz.

Ok, here's a NOOB question: If I change my username, will all of my previous posts change as though I had changed a signature?

Yes If you change your username all your posts will show up as the new username.

Quotes won't though, which can look confusing. Yet funny.

It will stay the same in the thread starter bit to.

Plus, you current username will be logged in your profile, for identification purposes.

Thanks for the name change

Originally posted by Raz

Yeah, there are. I know that there are some usernames missing from profiles from back when we could change them ourselves - mine doesn't have Silver Stardust listed, for example.

Does that mean you can go back to that username or does it count as taken?

I'd assume it still counts as taken...

Though, I just went to the 'change username' page and didn't have that listed amongst my former usernames, either. Huh.

Looooophole ha-som



Sorry, OTF mood struck.

English Moosette is missing from my previous username list, but Syren is on it as my first choice of name. I got it back after I decided I didn't like Lady von Tramp any more mwahaha

I asked to be called Ex-Jedi two days ago, but now I want to be called Lethal Rogue.

Err, you ARE asked several times before you submit your request. Got no one else to blame!
