OK here's the deal folks. We're likely going to upgrade to vBulletin 3.7 by next month. We're still waiting on them to release the final version, and when they do, we're going forward with the upgrade ASAP.
After we upgrade,
YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR USER NAME. Why? It's not worth it to try to re-implement the whole "user name history" thing, and without that, trying to keep track of people who are changing their names would be chaos. That's just the way it's gonna be, sorry.
Basically I'm posting to say,
you need to pick a permanent user name as soon as possible. Pick a user name that truly defines you, because you will keep it forever. So decide on a name and then go to
change your user name and put it in.
If you can't change your name because it's been less than 60 days since the last time you did, or if you screw something up, I will allow you to get special assistance with this one time. Just use the
help form, tell us what you want your permanent name to be, and we'll take care of it.
You will only be able to do this once. We will not take requests to change your user name again after this. With that said, I'll step back and let the firestorm commence.
