    Default Old username feature!

    I was just wondering if there are any chances that this feature could return
    Before you could click on a members profile and you could see all their previous usernames. I kind of enjoyed that. These days I often meet people here, like in the RP, and I don't know who they are, when their actually old EP friends! And people have the wackiest names. If you think about it, it may not be a dumb idea ( ?)

    Sounds like a cool idea to me. Not sure if something like that would be possible again, but it wouldn't hurt.

    No idea. I don't actually remember having a feature like that. Then again, I'm assuming it's a feature that was part of EP before my time (2004) here.

    I used to check the posts started by *Username* and it gave you their old nickname.

    I think the VB updates might have made it impossible.... or if it's possible it got lost along the way with all the updates.

    I don't know if it's posible, but I think it's a good idea too, would be easier to know what's the latest nick Theo is using

    You can usually tell him from the others though.

    This does sound like a nice idea though. I wasn't here in '04 so I never saw it, but it sounds cool.

    I'd imagine it would not be too hard to code something like this for the new version of vB.

    Or put a form in the profiles for us to fill with our old usernames.
