Change your usernames to work with CB subdomains. If your subdomain doesn't work because you have invalid characters in your username (everything not a-z0-9- is invalid), or if you simply don't like your current username, click on the link below to change your username. You will be able to change your username once every six months, so please consider carefully before choosing a new one. If you end up not liking it, you're going to have to live with it. Admins no longer can change your usernames without breaking your CB4 personal pages. Also, next time you log in, remember to use your NEW username to log in, otherwise you won't be able to.

EDIT;
if an admin changed your username at any time in the past, not all pages will reflect your current username (like your submitted layouts). To fix this problem, just input your CURRENT username to the form.

Umm what is the subdomain and where do we go to access it? Dunno where this should go.

Oh, yay. I'm currently satisfied with my username (and I think I will be for a long time). But I was just wondering. Is there like a script that automatically detects if it's been six months? Or do the admin check it manually?
micron
its detected automagically.

gelionie
This is nice... but I'm not being very creative with usernames now...
So is it we can change our usernames for the first time after cB4 whenever we like?

i forgot to mention if at anytime you requested an admin to change your username, your cb submissions (layouts, favs) wouldnt reflect your current name. input your current username to the name changer and that should update everything to reflect your current username.
gelionie
I changed my username, but the huge black username on my profile page is still the old one.
micron
^ oh that you change via edit profile / basic settings
gelionie
Thanks Jusun! :D
tokyo-rose
Thank you for this. I just changed my username. :]
slammin shelby
Ohh this was a good idea. For those people who do like to change their names every 5 minutes :D

HelplessCry
SAH-WEEEEE HEEET.

I'm really confused. ermm.gif Is there a way that there can be a list with all of the old usernames?

I don't know who anyone is anymore.
loveylovely
Yeah, that would work, too. Not many people would go for it. though. rolleyes.gif

Micron, I have a request.

Can you delete the user who has the name "Elba" so I can have it? Pretty please?

Hmm, many people do it already, though.

It is a little confusing, I must admit. laugh.gif

This is awesome, anyways. Love it. thumbsup.gif
NgocQuyen
lol weee i can stop calling myself a loser in my name...even though i am one. haha :) it makes me sad though, i've had that name for 3 years ><
mylittleMiracle
That's cool I have changed my username finally!
micron
oh mannnn, i made a mistake. if you have an underscore in your name, technically, you have an invalid name, since only alphnumeric plus dash is the only valid characters for subdomains (hostnames). internet explorer users will not be able to add comments to your pages (since IE only sends cookie data if the hostname is valid), so im considering reseting the username count so that those people can change their usernames again...

Ooooh ooooh if you do that, can you delete the "Rachel".

Look, they have ZERO posts whistling.gif
micron
done and done!

PS. please dont ask an admin to delete a username (since deleting using the forum acp will only delete the forum account but not the cb4 account). if you wish to chagne your username to an account that is taken, if that account has been inactive for over a year and has zero posts, let me know! =)

^Haha, ohh Suzzette <33

YAY thank you!!

There used to be a 'view member name history' or something like that option in the profiles. I'm not seeing it now though.

Ah, ok...haha I was so confused just now. I PMed you about it, but all right, I understand now. I just hope I won't get associated with my internet past now lol...a google of "falsetigerlimbs" reveals embarrassing youtube videos of me.
sadolakced acid
unfortunately i like my username too much.

it's classic!
micron
^ you could put a dash or remove the space you know.
sadolakced acid
but i like it, space and all...

as long as i don't use the CB4 profile thing, i can keep my username as is, right?
inspiration
^ Presumably yes.

I miss "Azarel" and some wanker already registered it. What the f**k? I was going to wait out the six months. sad.gif

I'm sorry to hear that you don't want to be a member anymore.
You'll have to PM an administrator and ask them to unregister your account. We currently have two administrators: mzkandi (Kiera) and superstitious (Rebecca).
