Possible Bug ??

I just noticed this … I know afflictionblade/Mike Ciance just switched his username from afflictionblade to Mike Ciance and as a result all his posts’ names switched. But if you look at the thread title and where it says last post by, it still says afflictionblade …
(sry to make an example of you Mike … )

hehe, I’ve seen several other forum software that has this same problem.

This is more of a ‘Brandon is trying to do it fast’ thing …

Theres a ‘rebuild names’ function I could run, but i figure they’ll all change eventually, so why bother.

I’ve noticed this along with something else. For example I quoted shyra1353 in my (this) post. If she changes her user title, “shyra1353” will still be quoted in this post. It’s interesting (and sometimes fustrating) when you read a post and see something quoted from someone and look back in the thread and can’t find that person. You have to read through all the posts to find that quote.

[EDIT] Scratch that! I didn’t know Brandon replied with an answer before my post.

i noticed that also right after my name was changed. no big deal though.

don’t worry about using me as an example, it’s free publicity! :stuck_out_tongue:

It seems to have been changed now!
So thanks to Brandon Martus, once again. :smiley:

Martus for President!

I just got on after 3 days of being off-line (7 pages of new posts!). And it’s freaking me out a little, since I can’t find any of the names I knew you by!

No! If he were president, he wouldn’t have time to take care of us here on CD anymore! :ahh:

Easy, low-tech solution:

Nobody gets to change usernames. NOBODY!! :eek:

what about for spotlights ?? because Mike’s spotlights are still under afflictionblade … and those wont change automatically eventually …

Those will have to be rebuilt. The vBulletin scripts don’t account for stuff I wrote…

I’ll add to the todo list.
