How To Change Your Username

Anyways, I shall fix this little problem in the near future.

Thats fair enough. I wrote that with something else in mind, with out knowing all the facts, but yeah, i do think maybe a restriction on taking an orignal name should be there.

Especially if a new member happens to pick the name.

I agree, please make our previous username that is in our profile reserved to only the original user who had that name to begin with. 😉

Taking a username and pretending to be the original user is crossing the line IMO. I can't really make exceptions for certain people, as it would be unfair to others.

It is crossing the line. Even if it was meant as a joke on a member. Things can get out of hand when people try to imitate an idea. Especially trouble makers! Is better to think it over before changing a username.

It's better to have a restriction to old names.

you should have thought of that earlier ... mayhem and chaos...

*mommy voice*
I told you so!

Is "Eχαbγte" longer than 15 characters?!? 😕 my profile says so...
Are special characters like χ, α or γ counted differently as they are in unicode or something? 🤨

I'd tend to doubt it, though I'm not a computer whiz at that sort of thing...

Ok,
It's because in title and s/n the unicode letters are displayed in their form as 6 other letters 😬 🙁
glad the change didnt work, would have looked weird 😂

thx nevertheless

What was is it supposed to be, "Exabyte"? because in that case, I wouldn't even bother with the special characters.

😆

One Exabyte would be 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 (=2^60) bytes 😄
(that's 1,073,741,824 gigabytes ^^)

An interesting number - all works ever printed would together be about 1/5 Exabyte saved in ASCII-texts; "All words ever spoken by human beings" are according to some internet sites about 5 Exabytes 😆
Etymologically, the first part (exa-), a standard prefix for numbers [normally for quintillions], is the same as Greek Hexa-, but in many languages like standard French, the "h" isn't pronounced -> Exa-.

Might wanna edit your first post Raz m'dear, it still says 7 detective

Maybe if the thread was changed to 'How to change your username' there'ld be less "can you change it for me" posts. Then again if people can miss the avatar and sig threads there may be no hope

as long as there are people, stupidity will be there
