Satoshi Ookami Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 - Related to username changing. Since premium members can change their username, would it be possible to have AKA field on the forum profile? For example under the Location field. Those who want could choose one name they think that represented them before they changed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution ExHaseo Posted December 11, 2014 Solution Share Posted December 11, 2014 You can also go to a person's forum profile, and click "Display name history" on the right side, to see all of a person's names. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknerd Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Though your points are valid the OP has a point, with the exception being wdjat since he is a Prinny. For example if it wasn't for your trophy card, Rawrgna, I wouldn't know you were that awesome person that played ToS forever and wrote a kickass guide. Took me forever to figure out Noire was Rise or that Sona was Teddie. Though the information is readily available I concede it can be confusing. Trophy cards do help but not everyone uses them. Edit: Though it's easy enough to go to one's profile to look as soon as that person changes their name again or if they change their avatars constantly it's hard to keep up with this person = that person.

Kashiyuka Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I agree with Bucknerd. I remember over on another trophy forum, some members changed their names and underneath their new name in their posts it said 'formerly known as ____' for about 20-30 days after their change before its taken away, since presumably anyone who was active was by then acquainted with their new name. Is anything like that possible here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoto Shirogane Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Took me forever to figure out Noire was Rise or that Sona was Teddie. Well this is news to me. I have to stop being lazy and visit other people's profiles to see if they changed their name or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quikdrawjoe Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I know on a different forum the display name history is displayed in the top right corner of the post next to post # (on the thread).

Satoshi Ookami Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 You can also go to a person's forum profile, and click "Display name history" on the right side, to see all of a person's names. Oh, didn't know about this. Good point. So I'll just let this here for convenience. If it was on profile, it would surely be more visible and quicker accessible.
