Any forum’s member has the right to change his/her nickname at any time with no losing their post (profile).
OK.
But it seems that the forum platform doesn’t normally support changing nicknames by forum’s users and each time just adds additional user record.
(The next profile contains links to all posts, whereas the post counters ‘see’ only posts written by the ‘current’ name).
Hi Tamara, if you search for nicknames using the ‘wild card’ function, the system shows you all user profiles containing a particular word.
You can’t change nicknames, you can only create a new profile. That’s what Delta has done at least three times so far.
Hi Tamara, please do continue to ask us any questions regarding the forum. Any feedback from you is important to us and certainly helpful for other forum users.
By the way, I also didn’t know that the forum’s DB is indifferent (not sensitive) to lower-upper cases in user names. Now I’ve successfully entered my own profile with ‘tamara’ and with tAMARA.
So, as I understand, no one can create accounts like ‘tamara’, ‘TAmara’, ‘TaMaRa’, ‘TamarA’ etc
Great!
Hi Tamara
You certainly seem to know a lot more about software than I do or ever will!
[size=92]By the way, I think you might have meant “…result in the loss of the account completely.”
(The phrase ‘at all’ is usually used in negative or interrogative sentences)[/size]
We’ve now activated the profile name function which means you can change their user name keeping all your posts. You can also change your email address and other profile information without losing your account.
