New Feature: Custom Display Names

Alrighty, first off I'm going to credit this idea to AcerBandit, who came up with it in this thread.

Two additional fields have been added to your profile. Go to your User CP, choose "Edit Profile", and you'll see them at the bottom:

UPDATE: The name display options have been moved to Edit Options, under Thread Display Options. To activate the feature, you have to go to both your profile and option pages, and press 'save'.




The display name will override your default username on the postbit. You will see a white asterisk that indicates a custom name, plus you can still see the original username by opening the menu, like this:




Right now there is no way to restrict duplicate custom display names, so it's possible you'll end up with 20 DATAGONKS running around. For people who are distressed by such delinquency, the other profile field setting comes to the rescue! Just set custom name displays to "no", and you'll see regular usernames as usual.

UPDATE

You have now four options to choose from to display the custom usernames! Take a look in your profile options:



(Ignore the field below it, hrhr)


Please report any bugs/comments/suggestions in this thread.

Would it be possible to implement Ultima's idea from the same thread? That being, during times when there are no active theme weeks, the display name feature can be shut off.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You can shut them off whenever, Capo, this isn't just for theme weeks.

The idea is to let people decide for themselves, but if there is enough abuse going on, I could implement an admin-controlled variable. Let's see how it goes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That would require a change to the database. I'd rather not code something like that just yet.

Miles: it's working fine for me here. Force refresh?

Edit: Oh, I get the problem. Fixing right now.

The boards are one step closer to being IRC.

You guys are the fucking MEN. No longer must we resort ot asking admins for name change help. <3333.

Did I mention <3.

Requesting my user name changed back to what it usually is so it never has to be changed again!

I just broke the postbit. You might want to lower the maximum limit by one since the * takes up a character.

Also is this going to be integrated into our profiles or the "who's online" or the journals in any way shape or form?

Alright, I've fixed it so that turning custom display names off actually works.

Yay!

Skills: Currently it only shows up on the postbit. Won't be too hard to integrate it elsewhere, though.

I changed it to 14 characters instead of 15. Now Skills just has to update his profile field.
