Changing Our Own Usernames

So, I asked a few days ago about getting my name changed in the thread and I noticed that there were people before me still waiting to get their names changed and I was wondering why you just don’t make it to where we can do it ourselves? I been to other vBulletin boards that had that hack. I think it would make it alot easier for Fox, and whoever else changes the names, and the members aswell. Thanks! :)

Even those "plugin-only" variations of hacks are never installed here. Out of multiple reasons (or so they say), none of which I can ever understand...(or so they say :))

It's awfully confusing if a member changes their name once, never mind several times a year... imagine if it was done on a daily routine...

I understand that but most members have a set name. Probably only a few people would change them constantly.

There's a box that you can add to the bottom of the forum that says who recently changed their name. BMGf implemented this feature for awhile.

And if you have 1000 members changing their name weekly? -.-

I find the limit/rule on name changing to be fine. Plus, it's hard when just one member changes her/his name because everyone that knows him/her has to be informed. Leave the name change rule/limit as is for now IMHO.

A limit can be set. Joe could easily set it to every two months or whatever he prefers. A thread could be created for the purpose of members posting their new and old names. Or Locke’s idea could be considered. Adding the box with names of recently changed names. Nothing would change except that we could do it ourselves. I don't think those who rarely change their names should have to wait a week to have their name change. I think Locke would agree because he too is walking around with Hegmon still on his name even though he requested a week or so ago to have it removed.

Exactly. I'm sure Fox doesn't always have the time to change our names. We ether need a few other MODs doing it too or we should be able to change it ourselves.

I wasn't trying to justify having the hack. I was merely informing the readers, dude.

I was just explaining to everyone what will happen. -_-

Yes, and I've yet to request my Name change to Wildfire because of the fact that the thread is always loads which name changes. However, you don't see me asking to do it myself. If it's that important to me, I can wait for it.

You forget not everyone is a member willing to keep the same name for a month or two. :p Some members (i.e. Yoshi~) would change every week or more. I still find letting an admin do it the best way considering not even a Moderator has that kind of power.

But if a limit is set, which means that if someone tries to change their name a week after they changed it won't allow the change until the limit has passed. Members like Yoshi~, whoever that is, won't be able to change it, even if the wanted to or tried a week after they changed it.

Well in Buffyworld.com they have the feature wherwe you can change your username, but you must wait aleast 30 days before you can change it, why don't we just do that? Just only make it two months instead of 30 days?

Joe won't install a hack. End of story.
:(

Anyways, there could be limits on how often you change it, it's really notr that hard to do.

I don't think Joe will do that. Cause he's all "omg u must keep your name for 2 months111"

Actually a few years ago, you could change your name on the chatroom.
Joe discovered it and got rid of it. ********.

hah

i agree that it should just be left to admins to do it as it would get confusing eventually and it is just better left as it is imo

But if we can change it every 2 months anyway and if a limit is set to every two months, so if you change your name and try to change it again a day later it won't allow you to change it for another 59 or so days. There would be NO difference besides the fact that we wouldn't have to wait over 3 weeks to get it changed. We could do it right when we want it.
