Name Lock
« on: May 15, 2011, 02:26:08 PM »
Would it be possible to unlock the name change feature for a few more days so people that were playing dressup can change back to what ever it is that want to spend the rest of there time in the forum as? some people changed to some rather silly names and it would be embarrassing for them to be stuck that way.

I'd had the erroneous impression that it names would "snap back" to their true login based names. Guess I was wrong.

I'll lift the restriction until sometime on Monday. Folks have 24 hours.

I didn't even notice that the name change feature was locked until I saw this topic. I would like to change my name back to just "Howl" although this is a fun name ;D

edit: Thanks iago!

Yes, thank you very much, Iago. I wouldn't like to hear the Duck's quack when told she would be Mrs. Piggy for ever  ;D

Hiiiii - Yaaaaa @!
Yeah, but Germans and Hungarians don't pull people's theories out of their sockets when they're challenged.  Ducks are known to do that.


That's been disabled. But I can still CALL you Fup Duck. -Shecky
