Why Has My Username Been Changed?

Hello i was wondering why my forum name has been changed from !John! to John2?
I haven't done this myself & it's really bugging me why its changed.
If a Mod has changed my name i would really like to know why & if they haven't then something fishy's going on,lol.
Cheers
John

Re: Why Has My Username Been Changed?

Hi !John!. I don't know why this has happened. Unless I am wrong the mods can't change anyone's user name. I can only suggest you PM StuDH to see if he can shed any light onto why this has happened.

Re: Why Has My Username Been Changed?

Yep, sorry, it was me.

The forum's username pages couldn't recognise the ! in your name, so they were attributing your posts to John. I had to change your name this morning, to get it working properly again, and unfortunately we can't change it back again until we find a fix.

If you can think of another name that only includes alpha-numerics then I'll change it for you.

Cheers

Stu

How about making a number plate out of your name JOHN 2B, IB JOHN, JOHN IS19 etc etc. You won't get another chance like this again.
Any other suggestions ?................Jon
