Changed display name but went wrong.


Recommended Posts

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

if a mod is nice enough, he'll change it for free. 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'

Congrats, you found a bug! (Or ran into something on purpose that's undocumented)

The ASCII value of ! is 33 :p

So it isnt likely to be my fault... phew!

:unsure:

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.

Thank you Triliaeris :D

I think it could be a bug in IPB that caused this, as The_Decrypter said, im not sure though.

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)
