Answered Not Your Usual Name Change Question.

[Leggy]

Changing names is easy, the method spelled out clearly.

Several people change their names, sometimes more than once when time limits allow, which periodically has people in threads wondering who the "new guy" is.

Would it be possible (and feasible) to add an entry to a member's profile, showing their previous name if they've changed?

That way, we could quickly see which old friend the "new guy" actually is.

Thanks for your time! :)

We decided against having the username histories publicly accessible for privacy reasons. If someone changed his name and wants other to be able to easily track the change, they can always add a note about it on their profile. ;)

Thanks for the clarification, Coro! That makes a lot of sense!

I wondered why I still couldn't find it, and figured I was just missing it.

I can usually figure it out anyway, by just looking at my friends list. :)

Thanks guys, for your help!
