Chode Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i use opera and dont have this problem :) Yes you do. Hmm, no way of coding IPB to restrict a user with warnings from touching the "Change My Display Name" section of their Control Panel? Now that I now it's there, temptation itches...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted February 23, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2006 seems it converted the ! into a numerical representation of it's ASCII value (33) *glares at blackice* What did you do? :angry: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo89 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 you have to wait 90 days Thanks for the reply, but i that is not the problem, i can wait 90 days. my problem is i cant input ps! in "Change Display Name" in control panel. Everytime i input " ! " i get " 33 " as a output display name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice912 Veteran Posted February 23, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the reply, but i that is not the problem, i can wait 90 days. my problem is i cant input ps! in "Change Display Name" in control panel. Everytime i input " ! " i get " 33 " as a output display name. That would be my fault probably. I didn't add the code to Neowin, but I did create it. :shiftyninja: I will check my code later tonight. :) Edited February 23, 2006 by blackice912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm trying to change my display name, but it says my password is wrong even though I know it's the correct password. Seeing as I'm logged in fine. That and it shows a green check mark next to enter display name when I type in my pw meaning the pw is correct and I should be able to change my display name. Can you please fix? And by the way I've never changed my display name and it says I can change it twice in 90 days so it should work as expected, but it's not. Thanks, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green checkmark means the name is available, not that your password works. Logout and back in again to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 It was was my account. I ment it was not me who posted. Someone got into my account back then. I was not even online. I just thought the account had been deleted because I had asked 3 years ago and never had gotten a response. And was just easier to create a new account. But like I said it's not a big deal or anything... And sam please grow up, no one was owned as you put it. Kids these days... and I do not mean you ok...Its just I'm sick of everyone saying owned all the time...its old and lame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycoolkim Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 its just a display name, the username stays as it is, so if you do have a warn, mods can trace you real easy, dont see if thats a biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.M.K Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Just wanted to ask a quick question regarding display name changes. When I first signed up with Neowin I used sixnine:design. Not long ago I changed my display name to Special K. I then tried to change it back to sixnine:design, but for some reason the : symbol is missing. Is there any reason for this?? I didn't think the : symbol was a special character. Basically I would just like my display back to it's original state which is sixnine:design. Thanks in advance.
