Hello there,

Just wanting to point out that you can now check all name changes at this new page. It can also be accessed at the top right of the forum page, next to "View new posts". I'm sure this information will come in handy for you all.

Also, I've slightly reworked the Participation Rules page so that it is actually part of the forums and not just a static page. The Participation Rules themselves haven't changed though. We're most likely going to move the link to the Participation Rules away from the Forum Index and make it available on each page on RuneVillage - making them easier to access. But that's still under discussion, so this will have to do for now.

EDIT:
Another thing has been brought up: we used to have images to represent the gender on the forums. I've currently implemented the images, but which do you prefer?
Also, we're still working on improving the gender image. The ones that are currently being used aren't final yet.

Greetings,
Glodenox

Interesting feature, what's with all the user names who went from [name]1 to [name] ?

Most of them were changes for the winter holidays during December and also for Halloween during October (or Frank's month). The rest are capitalizing/decapitalizing or random changes.

Very helpful indeed.

I concur. We must lynch him now for the sake of the metagame, we MUST teach people that they can't go around claiming "anniversary" and expect leniency. Topsummoner.

Ever since I lost access to the Name Change Forum I've been lost. Thanks a lot.

Most old name changes aren't in there yet. I plan on adding those old ones back though. All I need is time...

EDIT: but that would mainly be for nostalgic reasons, right now the problem was just people not knowing who changed to who - which these pages resolve.

Greetings,
Glodenox

Well, statistically speaking, slightly more than a giant suckusaur. A dire one.

This just in: February will be Name-Change Month. Suddenly, nobody knows who anybody is. Beautiful chaos ensues.

Or not, thanks to this new feature. :spite:

Name changes are public to any mod who can view the forum. Most certainly, Jackstick knows about the name change forum. :?:
Also, the pun on his name is "Jerkstick". Jerkface all the time might be a bit too far. :?:

Nice to see the old name changes. Now there won't be anyone able to hide in the inky shadows, and custom titles and things can be freed up from "Formerly ____" :D

Is there any way a search function could be added to the name change section? That'd make looking through for a friend's new name a lot easier.

I'm planning on adding a search function later on. I just didn't see a good way to incorporate a search section there.

I'll probably go for an approach similar to the memberlist page, apart from the sorting and all that.

Considering this page is mainly there for people who are wondering about the latest name changes that happened, I don't put this search function high on my priority list though. Besides, there's only 5 pages of name changes and they're sorted by date, so it can't be that hard to find a friend's name change.

Greetings,
Glodenox

For the Name Change list Ctrl+F works quite well since it's so small.

Wow, that was quick O_o I just mentioned the gender thing this morning, lol.

I'll have to work on improving the icons though. They're a bit messy.

Edit: Fixed them. :^_^: Glode should have them changed soon, then we'll be taking a poll on whether people prefer the icons or the text. :P
