Inklin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, im not sure where to post this but i tried to change my display name to iAwesomeness! and it said it was available with the green tick, i submitted and edned up with iAwesomeness33 I went back and checked it iAwesomeness! was available and it is, so why did it give me iAwesomeness33? im confused. Edit: i can't change it again because ive used the limit of two changes for 90 Edited November 25, 2008 by iAwesomeness33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, you'd get a PM saying "your fault", but you made a mistake I guess That would be a bit unfair, I had 'iAwesomeness!' in the box and the green tick come up, when the page refreshed it was iAwesomeness33 and i know i didnt type that in. Might be a bug or something. oh well. I'd rather wait 90 days than get a PM saying 'your fault' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplecookie Veteran Posted November 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hopefully iAwesomeness is okay. I just removed the 33 and since it was a honest mistake there's no need to make you keep it the way it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Triliaeris :D I think it could be a bug in IPB that caused this, as The_Decrypter said, im not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2008 IPB is one big bug, the display name area is kinda messy (I had some code to sanitise invalid names that it used to allow that broke certain browsers, IPB was mangling the name before my code could even access it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
