F. Bayer Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hey,Your settings don't allow spaces as a character in display names. That's a bit silly given they're allowed in login names anyway. So, I can't change my display name from F. Bayer to Frederic S. Bayer, which is a bit silly. Would you please consider changing that?

Administrator murphzlaw1 Posted August 27, 2014 Administrator Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 unfortunately that is more a limitation on the forum software, rather than our preference. That said, I'll see if there's a way to make that change. Might take a while, tho, as it'd probably be pretty deep in the programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevJackP Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 murphzlaw1, do you think that hard space _ could be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dave Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hmmmmmm, I wonder when that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevJackP Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't know Pastor Dave, it wouldn't let me have spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dave Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I noticed Dorian Gray also has a space so it wasn't just a fluke that I got one ....... something had to have changed at some point. I can also say that it wasn't immediately after we switched from the previous forum software (wasn't it invision or something similar?) because I remember I went inactive long enough (6 maybe 8 months) for Murph to delete me and I had to create a new account.

Dorian Gray Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 It was likely part of a major version or patch upgrade to the software. Your name has been in place for over a decade, but if you were to try to change it the current rules would be forced on you. My name has been in place for nearly 9 years.Looks to be around September of 2012 + maybe a few months is when the change occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
