I know you guys have said over and over again that you will not change a name to one that's already in the DB, no matter how old it is even if it has NO POSTS and has shown no activity in over 4 years ( ;) )

Any reason why besides the anticipated and obvious "because we don't"? Just curious...

Well Matt was taken. And you shouldn't talk, you've probably changed your name about a half dozen times now.

Don't do that.

well, it needs to be said...

<<<OWNED>>>

That's cool. Just thought I'd ask. Being as how every person is only supposed to have one nic, it seemed to me that if you wanted a nicK w/ no posts, was banned (maybe both), and a few other possibilities/combinations (permission from person via email address on file w/ that nick) that maybe it should be allowed. Having "so many members" signed up is great and the number looks cool, but if it's not an actual contribution to the forums/site then it's just a silly number.

Thx everybody.

Bottom line : if we do agree to change your name, it will not be acceptable to ask us to change it to an existing name. It's obvious why - asides from the fact that it would be unfair on that other party, we've many people who sign up just for the perk of signing up - they might not post.

    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
    • I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week
    • A shame it don't allow people to bypass the MS account, I will stick to using Rufus.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.
