What do you mean who is right??? It sounds like the first box has a efinition and the second has what it is. The title if you will I am not certain but I think Ebon is wondering who "Diggs" is.

When you go to PM someone it shows their original username in the 'to' box. For example, anyone going to PM me will see 'Slayerofdarkness' in the 'to' box, whereas my display name has been changed to 'Slayerof Darkness'. See what I mean? EDIT: Not to mention, when you view someone's profile it says 'View Profile: The Ebon Assasin (Username: diggsjj)' Lookie here- /index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=diggsjj-Slayer

Hmm...that's somewhat disconcerting; especially when someone I don't know uses it. Threw me off, it did.

LOL, I'd never thought about that happening... I wonder if there's a way to make it 'private'? -Slayer

All it is is that I keep my eyes open. I have a pet peeve about missing details, lol. I very rarely remember the details I notice, unless they stand out as particularly important, but there you have it. Another display/user name discrepancy: Paul Southren --- Admin Just call me Sherlock. LOL! ;D Thanks for the kudos, though, Sparky. -Slayer

It's because when I hit , the Message Box showed: [quote author=diggsjj board=general thread=13457 post=... time=...] etc. How was I supposed to know the message board was telling me fibs? Anyway, I went back and corrected it. +1 karma to Ebon for being right and +1 to Slayer for spotting the discrepancy. I was feeling a little crazy there for a minute.

I mean, I could change my name to "The Ebon Assassin" and he could change his name to "SlayerofDarkness" who could change his name so "RickWilly" who could change his name to "Skippy" and then no one would have any bloody clue who is saying what. Being able to change display names is all well and good, but we still need a way to uniquely identify people.

I agree... I was just wondering if there was the option for anyone who wanted to, for whatever reason. Very good point, though, although everyone switching up the names WOULD be hilarious! ;D -Slayer

That'd be funny for a one-off type of thing- see if we can figure out who it REALLY is by the way they type/talk...lol

Alright, for April 1st we've got to all draw a random user (has to be one active enough to be recognized) from a hat and change out name to that for the day.

I have enough trouble when someone changes there avatar. I also get my kids names wrong. I'll have to stay off that day.
