Name changes

Just a quick suggestion here;

I recently asked Korn for a name change, and he nicely did it for me on the 31st. Now I went away and wasn't back until the 3rd, and when I logged on then it wouldn't let me on, because of the name change. Now luckily I remembered my name change application, but it did have me a bit stumped. I had a 'private message notification' in my inbox, but obviously I couldn't view it to see that Korn had sorted it.

I realise I could have also looked at a previous post to see my name change, but that might not occur to people who do have their names changed.

Just a thought; is there something that could be sorted out, like a function that would let you log on with your old name, and then you get notified that you should log on with your new name?

Or maybe email you that the change has been done?

One thing that may be useful if is that the content of the PM is shown in the email notification of the PM. Other forums do this Thumbs Up

I have a better idea!

Pick a username that isn't retarded and then keep it.

Now this might be a bit difficult for us all to get to grips with at first but I'm sure once we're used to it then it will all work fine.

What a constructive answer! Rolling Eyes

Despite that, mistakes are made or people go off their names, so name changes do happen occasionally. It's just a bit of a glitch that might do well to be changed.
