Considering a Username Change
« on: April 23, 2023, 07:52:28 pm »
As the title states, I'm thinking about a username change. However, before modifying my profile (i.e. changing my username), may I please confirm that the name change will have no impact on the status of my Forum gallery? I assume that the gallery will be unaffected, but I've put in too much work on it over the years to take any chances. Thus this post. Thanks.

I believe the uploads to the gallery and any comments you've made will still be under the name Robert L3 unless the last update changed that.

I believe you are correct 'Titus Pullo'.  ;D

Interesting. I would have assumed a new username would essentially overwrite the old one in all previous posts and gallery uploads.

Would the new username have any impact on my uploading new images/info to my gallery, assuming - as you say, Jay - the gallery remains under “Robert L3”? Stated differently, will I still be able to update/expand my existing gallery under the new name?

I switched from Otlichnik to SC with no problems that I have noticed, including gallery, old posts, status, etc....

Your new name will appear in the galleries for all your posted files ... however, your previous name will show for gallery comments you left prior to the change.
