Is there a way you could merge my old account with this one? My old one wa jgrant, or jrgrant or something. Could you combine them, so my join date and number of post is right?

I don't think so. Sasquatch doesn't have such a feature, and afaik phpBB also doesn't have.
We should maybe implement a function into sasq like "I lost my pass" ...

But maybe someone from the ypr can be so nice and just look at the db, modify the new row and delete the old one...Just until a new feature like "Change name" is done.
Where's the problem of changing a username? You surely have them in an table with some primary key like an ID number, so that you would only have to change the name in the db and everything would work fine.

Yeah, that'd work, but we can't delete his old username now. In that case, all the posts he made with the old username would loose their owner (resulting in database error). We will instead implement a "hidden user" function for those who left the community and those who created multiple accounts.

why do you guys always want such insane stuff? why can't you just stick with one username? maybe you could tell us the problem. That would be great
if you've lost your pass, we could implement a function for that...

i think, for what mintegra wants, a little merge script would do the job. just delete the old user, change the join date, and change the poster of the posts by jgrant to mintegra...

I don't like you for some reason KaGez, I don't know why, I just don't.

I agree with KaGez that ppl should identify with one Nick. It just makes life a lot easier if everybody knows you by _one_ name.
But:We'Re all still young and make our mistakes. Let the ppl choose a proper name if they entered a crappy one at first

Mintegra:
if it helps you, I don't have a big problem with that
anyways, I think that changing the username will be a part of the next sasquatch, and also of the message board. I'll try to bring this idea into the new sasquatch. It should be really easy to implement

Is Yowie! an entirely independent script or part of Sasquatch (or in some strange way both) ?

as of now it is tied and dependant on sasquatch, but we're still not done with it, so it may change
