I Want My Name Back

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item I Want My Name Back

  • Just my 2ct ...

    changing username may cause some "broken" references in forum replies, etc.

    (e.g. there a some replies like "to alzdba ...." If I change my username to JohanBijnens that may leave some "broken" refs to alzdba because I suppose you'll not change the replies text to my new username)

    That's why I keep it as alzdba. :w00t:

  • Steve,

    Sounds reasonable. Hopefully you can update the what is displayed on old postings to show the new name the person uses.

    However, I think you should stay as 'Steve Jones - Editor' - apart from anything else it does mark out how active you are on the site.

  • Steve,

    I hope you have fun with that project.

  • Sounds like Thanksgiving at my house: my faimly is entirely composed of Millers/Smiths and Joneses.

    Like my wife would say - "it like walking into a witness relocation program reunion"....:P

    Good luck with "user normalization Process".

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • As we clean up usernames, we'll definitely change the forums as well to match the new user name. So if there was another Alzdba in front of you, you'd get to pick a new name or you're appear as Alzdba2, depending on how creative I am that day. Maybe we'd make you Azldba-servicebroker-champion 🙂

    I might leave the editor on. I had a few people say that it distinguished me from a regular user.

    Shouldn't that be a new attribute in your entity ? :Whistling:

    .... and off we go .... :w00t:

  • I probably don't need anymore attributes. My wife would rather see me subtract a few 😀

  • I think having "- Editor" is helpful. I assumed it was intentional and had a purpose (identifying who you are).

  • Just out of curiosity, I searched for my name, "Jesse McLain", in the Google search textbox in the upper-right hand corner. What came up was an entry by user "hxd001_810", http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/User+Defined+Function/61768/, listing me as the author. Is this related to the user name issue?
