Forum's signature keeps my old name


Recommended Posts

Hello .

 

Yesterday , I've finally found out how can I have the classic member signature .

Unfortunately , my signature displays my old name , '' Terror '' .

Despite it's my ex-name and I've got it on my previous community from Romania , I've choose to change it as much as it doesn't represent me at all .

Is there a way to change its text [ signature one ] with my actual display name , '' MikeM97 '' , which by the way , will be my last name standing ?

And also , can you , please , edit that 3  - 4 [ maximum 4 ] post that I've mad as '' Terror '' and to change every '' Terror '' with my name ?

 

Anticipate thanks .

When you go to your signature settings, make sure the code is like this:

 

[img=https://www.neowin.net/signatures/<userID>?regen=true]
Where <userID> is the ID of your user account. In your case it would be 540200.

That will also affect your signature in any posts you have previously made, so there is no need for anyone to modify anything for you.

Please DO NOT do this!

 

If you do that, the image will be regenerated every time someone load a page with your signature on it, causing increased load on our servers.

 

The correct thing to do is get the URL currently used for the image, add ?regen=true, and load it in your browser ONCE, don't put the ammended URL into the signature box, that can be left as-is, without the ?regen=true bit added to the end.

Thanks , that was amazing & fast .

P.S : If someone qutoed me as '' Terror '' , in the quote box will be '' Terror '' or '' MikeM97 '' ?

I've tried to write '' these 3-4 posts '' but I mistakely wrothe '' that 3-4 post '' and my 1st post in this topic became incredibely confusing & wrong .

Ah, I misremembered. I did a quick search and found 1, 2 and 3 posts asking similar questions. I forgot about the idea of just clicking the link, though. :blush:

That's nothing...  The way it is.

 

If you change your name again in the future... your old name will be stuck in the quotes...

 

Don't worry about it.

It matters that I won't change it again .

And also , there's only one quote , it won't take so much time for someone who want to edit it .

 

I don't care if you take offense - but no one cares, and it doesn't matter.

You mean you can't see my sig?  If so, I have no idea. Maybe Dave or Steve will reset your settings on their end.

 

 

If you mean you can't see your sig, you check or create a new one here.

It's in Ignore Preferences for some reason:

Also, get shozilla or Marshall to make you a custom sig if you don't want to make one yourself. :)

That's pointless ...

You can only say a supposition , as you already did upside ... and ... those things won't be taken seriously no matter what .

I agreed with episode.

 

You worry too much.

Telling a person that worry too much not to worry too much can worry them.

And you don't want to worry Mr Terror!

Look , that's why I want it to be changed .

We can't go through editing every post that quotes one of your 450 odd posts, we'd be there all week - sorry.
