Have you changed your WF member name?

5 replies
And if so, what happened to your previous name as referenced in quotes of you posted by others? Did it change to the new name, or did those quotes continue to reference your old name?

    Hi Jon,

    When you change your name your old posts will reflect your old username.

    This is not necessarily a bad thing as it may help others with the continuity of your postings.

    At least that's the way it worked when I changed usernames.

    edit: Istvan's post reminded me that I was thinking more along the line of when someone 'quotes' your older posts. The name inside the older posts quoted will still have your old username if the post was quoted before the name change. However, your new username, even a new avatar if you change that, will show next to your old posts. Apologies for any confusion.

    ~Bill

    For me it worked like this:
    a) on all my posts, even those made before the change, the name has been changed
    b) in quotes, where others quoted my post in their reply - it remained with the old name
