Apparently we can change our usernames freely now

[NJClaw]

By clicking on your name and then going into "Account details":

Please use this responsibly. Don't hurt the people around you.

 

[NJClaw]

Also, we have a "top chatters" ranking, which is pretty fun:

We can finally scientifically determine who deserves to be bullied more for using the shoutbox too much.

It's a trap. Don't give in. Resist.

 

[Skinwalker]

I don't think that works.

 

[SexExitium]

what is this libtard snowflake bullshit, what about my freedom of speech
ever notice that you can literally change your gender on that same page, this site is the worst
also can you set the page width to 130% it's too narrow now, thanks

 

[Narushima]

It'd be funnier if your gender had to be unique.

Well, all you need to do is wait until they change the username and then ask for it to be changed back...

Assuming no one steals it in the meantime, I guess.

 

[Melcar]

I'm telling you guys it's a trap.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Change it to something funny to see if it works.

 

[Skinwalker]

I don't think that works.

It does work!

Better yet. You should change your username to Konjad.

And I was wondering what happened.

 

[Modron]

Worst part of this change is, while the site will list your old names on your profile, you can't find a member by searching their old name.

 

[lightbane]

Can you change your avatar freely now? I'm not sure, as clicking on one's profile pic brings you to the image used.

Still on the todo list from the discussions in the site feedback thread.

I'm guessing the issue is that XF2 only supports custom avatars by default and the avatar gallery has to be redone from scratch.

If only it could show all the alts as well.

But then Liberal's ones would probably be causing crashes again.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Great, it has to be approved by The Administration® first.

When can we get our old custom avatars back tho?

If it is like other XF2 boards I've been on, that indicator disappears in a week or two.

It's okay; Liberal can be spotted from a mile away regardless of what name he tries to hide behind.

 

[d1r]

Has this feature been disabled again, since I can't change mine.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

It works for me.
