Hey. So I saw that the forum software is XenForo. With it users cannot change their username. But I looked into it and found a few things. Now this is for the admins in case they want to allow users to change their username. @Touchfuzzy @Lunarea @Archeia

Here it is: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/username-change-by-siropu.4144/

This is a feature that I think that, if added, would make a lot of members happy, and save admins work when someone asks them to change their username.

Honestly, I'd rather leave it to just people requesting it. I don't get that many, and additionally, it keeps people from radically changing their name. Most name changes I've had people request are still the same name, but maybe removing a prefix/suffix or the spelling, etc.

I don't mind those name changes, but people radically changing their name makes it easier to hide who they are. (And if they have a legit reason to do that, they can contact us to handle it).

Alright. But if you ever change your mind, you know what to do ;)

We actually did know already and had discussed the pros and cons of adding it in, but we appreciate that you want to help.

Previous versions of this forum had allowed users to change there names, and that resulted for example in one very rude user (banned later) that changed his username whenever he was warned to watch his behaviour...

Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
