Forums _ Announcements _ Change your usernames!

Posted by: micron May 24 2007, 10:48 PM

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.

Posted by: relaxdontrelapse May 24 2007, 10:57 PM

^
at the top of the page, click my account and go from there

Posted by: micron May 24 2007, 10:57 PM

^

here's your subdomain: http://supimateecup.createblog.com/
you change your content, go to "My account" found in the top right corner of each page.

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?

Posted by: micron May 24 2007, 11:15 PM

its detected automagically.

Posted by: niez_cho May 25 2007, 04:03 AM

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?

k. since brackets arent supported, i fixed my username.

Posted by: micron May 26 2007, 03:54 AM

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.

Posted by: gelionie May 26 2007, 04:32 AM

I changed my username, but the huge black username on my profile page is still the old one.

Posted by: micron May 26 2007, 04:50 AM

^ oh that you change via edit profile / basic settings

Posted by: gelionie May 26 2007, 05:07 AM

Thanks Jusun! :D

Posted by: Synesthesia May 26 2007, 09:03 AM

Thank you for this. I just changed my username. :]

Posted by: slammin shelby May 26 2007, 04:05 PM

Ohh this was a good idea. For those people who do like to change their names every 5 minutes :D
I wanna change mineee.

SAH-WEEEEE HEEET.

hmmm ive been wanting to change mine for the longest time and now i have the privelege too. thankyou so much :D

dood this is great. :]]

Posted by: loveylovely May 26 2007, 10:41 PM

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.

Posted by: loveylovely May 27 2007, 02:38 PM

Yeah, that would work, too. Not many people would go for it. though. rolleyes.gif

Posted by: AngelicEyz00 May 27 2007, 06:04 PM

Micron, I have a request.

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

This is awesome, anyways. Love it. thumbsup.gif

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 ><

Posted by: mylittleMiracle May 29 2007, 08:27 PM

That's cool I have changed my username finally!

Posted by: micron May 30 2007, 02:43 AM

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...

http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showuser=7220

Look, they have ZERO posts whistling.gif

Posted by: micron May 30 2007, 10:11 PM

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! =)

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.

Posted by: sadolakced acid Jun 9 2007, 03:26 AM

unfortunately i like my username too much.

it's classic!

Posted by: micron Jun 9 2007, 04:41 AM

^ you could put a dash or remove the space you know.

Posted by: sadolakced acid Jun 9 2007, 08:25 AM

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?

Posted by: inspiration Jun 15 2007, 05:22 PM

^ Presumably yes.

I miss "Azarel" and some http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showuser=534574 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: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showuser=94410 and http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showuser=333948.

What the hell. I wanted the username Tung, but someone had it already, and hasn't been active for 3 years. I Pmed Jusun about it, and he never even replied back. stubborn.gif Now I have to wait 6 months just to get that username? sad.gif

Posted by: absinthe Jun 10 2008, 01:38 PM

^Same here. I wanted to change my username but the user who has the one I want hasn't been active since `04 and has no posts. Do we really have to wait those 6 months ? mellow.gif

Posted by: libertie Jun 10 2008, 03:19 PM

Yes, if you've changed your username in the last six months unfortunately. If your time is up and you're able to change your name but the name you want is taken by an inactive account, I can fix it for you.

Posted by: Elba Jun 11 2008, 10:35 PM

I just want to get rid of the 123 in my username.

Edit:nvm. I think I like my username:)

Posted by: superstitious Jan 16 2009, 07:40 AM

One of the current admins can probably take care of the first part for you. I know that you edited and said that you like your existing/active username, and I'm not sure if you caught this in the first post of this thread, but if you go here:

http://www.createblog.com/home/username.php

you can change your username yourself, every six months. Unless your Thomas, who changes his on a whim. :p

before you go changing your name, you should be thankful that CB actually has this to offer where many sites, you cannot delete nor edit your profile material such as usernames. and i'd like to say that i've seen some odd names so please if you could, have some dignity & create a decent username if your first choice wasn't that welcoming. remember, there are viewers of all age visiting CB everyday, & you don't want to the one to scare them off.

Actually, nearly any forum running PHPbb or Invision, and a ton of vBulletin forums, allow you to change your username whenever you want.

Also, if anyone is offended by my username, they can go die. Nobody should be offended by a pseudonym, and if they are, they probably shouldn't be using the internet. Or breeding.
