I can't search for my posts. Cause: my username?

Post Reply New Topic

Can I please make a special request to change my username?

I believe the two underscores at the end are triggering a bug in the software that prevents me from finding my posts (I think I posted about this before, but again, I can't find my old posts!)
When I click on the link on my profile to display all my posts, I just get tons of posts by people called willem, willow, etc.

Could an admin please change my username to something that solves the problem? Can I actually be Peter255 or Alex255 or Adam255, some common name that's available + 255? I want to be a bit more anonymous as well.
I assume that my old posts will automaticlly be available under my new username. If that's not true, could you either update them, or just help me get a list of them please?

Thank you

I'm not sure if that's possible, though don't take my word for it.

Personally, I'd start over with a new account.

There is no problem with underscores in usernames.

Here is a link to all your posts: http://www.wrongplanet.net/forumssearch ... ill__.html

However there is a problem with hyphens. Anyone using a hyphen in their username can't find their own posts. This is a long term bug that is unlikely to ever be fixed.

Yes, you are right. The trailing underscore seems to be acting as a wildcard and listing all posts by anyone who's name begins with Will. Unlikely the bug will ever be fixed by Alex though.

I expected the bugs not to be fixed. That's why I asked for my username to be changed.
How do I get the attention of someone who is able to do this?
