Lol my username got changed to a random number!

Arf! What was it supposed to be?

radio_active · May 5, 2018, 2:38pm

It was I guess Discourse doesn’t allow symbols in usernames?

bartv · May 5, 2018, 2:47pm

Ah that sounds likely yes

Yes! Discourse did justice with you! 11170 is much easier to quote…
(Just kidding, I love those three radioactive symbols)

If you want to change your username to something else that Discourse does support, just let me know.

Same, it was a bit of a disappointment I couldn’t login right away because my username was changed.

Used to be “Felix_Kütt”. Would like to have it changed to “Megalomaniak”(not talking about the display name) or alternatively “Megalomaniakaal” if possible, this way it’s more in line with other forums I’m active at such as godotdevelopers and level1techs.

edit: I also find it strange that user-tag is rendered first and bigger/bold instead of “real name”(display name).

on meta.discourse.org it seems to be the other way around which IMO makes a lot more sense.

Thanks Fweeb, I would choose radioactive but it’s taken by a user with 1 post from 15 years ago lol, so I guess I’ll choose radio_active

Should be fixed now.
