If we are not going to be able to change our username then that's fine. I'm happy with mine anyways.

yes saim.

Great. Lol. I don't hate mine, is just now it's very split up and I'm like marc or marchoffmann, 1 name only would be better to recognize but don't feel like having everything to marchoffmann again. People can't even spell it!

tbh I really care 0 percent if people can spell my name. DK why that should care me.

Why that should care you? Since you said you have nothing against correction anymore, interest rather. Well rudolf can't be misspelled easily. Marchoffmann though? Many asian dudes especially on bc and stw back then went like hey march of man how are u and shit, and this ridiculous spelling of my user name just went on my nerves. Like broh. Garo, rudolf, all extremely simple names, but if someone gets marchoffmann right, I must nearly give them an achievement typa thing for it Lol...

if I would be called rudollf instead of rudolf, which already happened for me, this would be no problem for me too. I would understand if you would say under a message:
and by the way, my name is called marc hoffmann instead of mark hoffman.
but for me it seems sometimes a bit offensive how do you say to people that your name is spelled different. creating a single message for that makes no sence, too.

this topic is the biggest non sense ever? Not sure if one of you guys got it yet but ya waisting your time with trash.

I don't get his arguments but it's a simple discussion, go back to other topics now they truely are trash. This one is good compared to the mess over there. Also there's no use saying it's trash anymore, it won't improve anything.

meh, how can you say its good when it legit has no point. You both are correcting things which both make no sense at all. And random people write even more garbage between.

Guys! I have a guess why you cannot change your username.
In the database of users, the only identifier of a user is username. All mensions of a user, including the forum posts, chats and so on, are tied not by his database primary key or an id, but by username. It means, that if the main database table of users changes a username, he will unlink all forum posts, all messages, all friends, because it would be considered a new user. If you would need to change your username, you would need to change it in all forum posts, all friend lists, all messages lists... If the server could get all user's data using a unique id, like telegram, than you can freely change your username. Hope my explanation is clear!

So, in telegram, databases are done so a user has a unique id, so when you want to get his forum posts, the server searches for it by the ID. But in case of elten, i think all identificator you have is a username, so if your username changes, all forum posts searched for your username are not valid because they are tied to your old username, so it would take a big processing power to change your username for all parts of database..

I was using this name everywhere at that point but not anymore. I mean it would be cool if I had the option to change it, probably drop the Sir prefix but ah well.

I don't understand why anyone would want to change their user name in the first place, you either have the nickname you always use, or you think of something random that just sticks with you and that's fine. Can you change your first and surname, well you can, but it's a hassle. So if it would ever be a possibility which it thankfully won't, it should be a complex and annoying process, so people don't have others guessing who the heck they are, especially if done multiple times across a short timespan.

I think what some people are getting at is that one day Pajper could try and find a way of changing the database so that users have a unique ID which would free up the username thing.

lol sure, yes, pajper will of course change up the data base...

oo he should waist I mean use his time very perductively for others who didn't pick their name carfilly soulds like a grate thing to do I am I right or right. l sure, yes, panjper will of course change up the data base...

Some, if not most people can't spell my name right either. They either spell it like, develgaurdian, or, devilgwardian. At this point, it's only a matter of who took the time to play the bk triligy to get my name anywhere near correct.

tbh, your name is kinda non sense in my eyes. I don't get why you would like to be named like that but if you want, meh, then don't complain about people spelling it wrong. + I think its funny how all the people who have a normal username never requested such a feature. Just the people with redicolous usernames do, and I wonder, why don't you think about your names before?

because things and opinions can change over the years. it isn't like you never did such (#SBYW)...

Then just select your real name? I mean its not the problem of the dev in the end.
