User names?

Just Kevin · February 25

I was under the impression I could change my name as displayed in the forums, but when I try to and click Save, an entire page tells me I don't have permission to do that! Did I use it wrong?

Paul_Lulu · February 26

hmm...you should be able to change it. I just logged in with my gmail account and updated that account user name.

Can you try again and if it fails, shoot me a screen grab along with the browser you're on?

Just Kevin · February 26

Hello Paul. It still wont let me. Screen grab of what? And I am on IE 11

Do a Print Screen of the error message when you attempt to your change user name, save the image, email the image to Paul_Lulu.

Just Kevin · February 26

There's no error message as such. No error code or anything like that. A page opens with the above on it.

Paul_Lulu · February 26

very odd. I'll tinker with your settings and see if I can figure out why it's doing this.

Just Kevin · February 26

Ta, or just change my username to Just Kevin. That's all I want to do

Papi_Soñoliento · February 26

Interesting, IE11 doesn't allow the user name change, but Fire Fox on a box with a dorito for a chip does. Curiouser and curiouser.

Paul_Lulu · February 26

Huh. There are still some lingering bugs with sign-on for specific browsers, so this could be part of it.

I also learned that this error can be returned if the user name is already in use on some browsers...

Kevin, I made the update for you. I'll document all this and send it along to our developers.

Just Kevin · February 27

Thanks young man. That's all I wanted to do

Just Kevin · February 27

narrow nose sword Mr Cameron?

Papi_Soñoliento · February 28

Crooked.

Just Kevin · February 28

You have a crooked nose?

Papi_Soñoliento · February 28

Being descended in part from the hook or crooked nosed people and having had to set my own broken nose I do.

The user name 'Stinkfuß Hakennase des Berges' also seemed pretentiously long

Just Kevin · February 28

Happy New year? But whatever it says, it is a bit long. One further problem is no one knows who you are.

Just Kevin · February 28

And do you drive a taxi?

Papi_Soñoliento · February 28

No, but it's always wise to have taxi fare just in case, as taxi drivers aren't charity workers. I believe the closest thing to a taxi I ever drove weighed in at 62,000 pounds.

'Stinkfuß Hakennase des Berges' would also translate as 'Stink foot hook nose of the mountain'.

I see, and how often will you be changing your user name?

Papi_Soñoliento · March 1

Mr Kevin, I likely won't change my user name very often now. I went with 'Papi Soñoliento' [Sleepy Daddy] as 'Papi Chulo' [Pimp Daddy] seemed a bit much.

As for people not knowing who I am, that's what the signature line is for. Think of it as a whimsical mystery while people diligently struggle to figure out the identity of the masked man behind the curtain or door number three.

Just Kevin · March 2

It's just a forum, not a Who Dun it.
