Title: Username Changes - Resolved
Post by: DeeKay on February 05, 2015, 06:50:07 am: Hey guys,

EDIT: This has been resolved now. However if you find you're still having issues with your new username, please send me a PM here on the forums.

The ability to edit your username was finally added yesterday which is pretty exciting, however it comes with a few downfalls.
If you do indeed change your username, please be aware that you will temporarily lose access to your rank, donation rewards, and anything else linked to your original username.
For the time being, if you change your username, please send me a PM here on the forums with your old username and your new username and I will transfer over your things.

This shouldn't be an issue for too long, I've started work on fixing the problems and will update this post when it's no longer an issue.

Cheers.

It would have if the plugins we were using were updated for such a change.

Ah, that's quite unfortunate, at least there's a way around it until it gets patched

No, those still work with the name change.

That's good to hear. I updated group manager yesterday but it didn't seem to be doing and converting of the UUID's. I guess it just needs people to login for it to work.

Post by: DeeKay on February 08, 2015, 07:39:12 am: A few people have been asking me about their forum name, and asking whether or not they have to make a new forum account for their new name.
The answer is no, you can now change your forum name as you please.

To do this, go to: Profile > Account Settings > Name and you can edit it there.
But please note, when logging into the forums, you must enter your original username that you used when registering.
