Seems if someone totally unrelated to an issue can have someone else’s profile changed with no consultation between that user and Admin.

After years of use of this site and forum and with no issues before my user name has been changed.

I’d like others opinions on this please – do you think its acceptable for this to happen with no word or should i just take it on the chin and let others do as they wish.

Surely if there was an issue you would have thought the Admin team would have contacted me first and not just applied changes suggested by another user.

Thanks

Dave, he has not fixed the bug and it is a recent issue not one that slipped through when “Me” joined

As can be seen the username has no affect, it is the @** where the problem lies. Just hold your mouse over “Me1” and look at the url it is taking you to.

I imagine Andy (admin) has been trying to sort out the problem reported to him by Bill.

I expect he is still working on things as the problem is still there, if there is a need to change your username then he may contact you but it looks more like the original @** is where the problem is not the actual username so he may well be able to revert it to “me”

As you said in the other thread PMs have been working I suspect it is a recent problem due to some change in software, plug-in etc

I’m happier that Admin are trying to sort things out then just ignoring the reported bug

Not everyone had a number added there are quite a few without including myself

Only admin can change a user name, Moderators can’t and certainly not other users

Hells bells! I withdrew my answer on finding it overlapped yours in Camel-Back.

You post appeared here well after I’d hit submit so I didn’t see it.

Same thing with your post in this thread appeared: arrived after a delay! Our posts are crossing.

My main reason for commenting was Me clearly feels aggrieved. No need for that, what he’s experiencing is bug fixing in progress, not a personal attack. As the fix is ongoing I shall leave it to you.

Jason, it looks like admin are part way through, as the portion after @ has now changed.

I did add screenshot to the other thread, but that bug has re-appeared and replaced it with an image placeholder icon.

And here’s me still in the dark as to what is going on with my account – my point of this thread is get someone to tell Me, that’s me as the user me what is going on…. it would only be manors to inform the user of the issues.

Just for reference – and as i seem to be getting ignored !! I want my user name to be “Me.” my participant can be @me1 @you5 @someone else27 – I don’t care about that I just want to be told.

Maybe a little perspective is required here? A bug has occurred on the forum, you haven’t been burgled. Life is too short to throw your toys out of the pram over minor stuff like this.
