New Feature: Custom Display Names

Yeah, that would be nice to have the extra space back. It would be nice if you could put in your own custom color that you'd like it to display in.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have no desire to change my username except for theme weeks, but cool idea nonetheless.

....Oh, I forgot I -am- participating in a theme week! Okay, now to try out this feature.

Update: I don't see my name changed...

Another update: Oh...I figured it out...

FELIPE NO

Ahahahahahaha. BEST GIF NAME EVER. Holy crap, that's awesome.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I've figure'd out that 19 pixels high is the limit for not breaking height.

Now to figure out width. =)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah.. anything except the standard color would allow people to know you had a custom name. I think it would be a good idea if users were somehow prevented from using the color for standard usernames.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, it's their choice. If I want all custom names to be magenta then they'll be magenta. If you want it the background color than hey that's your choice. If you complain it sucks than you just pick another color. Not a big deal. *shrug*

Double Post:
Okay I've figured out the dimension limit. 131x19

I will hopefully be able to pull some fun stuff in that amount of space. =)

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

So you'd be able to put images into your custom title as well? Sounds cool...so...I could for example use this for the theme week?



Or is this going to stay a staff-only feature?

How ya doing, buddy?

I stretched the tables with one image I tried to use. I think I'll stick with this custom image for now.

Good to know the size limit though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well done! Lucky mods with their cute images :S
Now I can parade around as ValkyrieProfile and only the laziest that can't bother to click will complain >=)

Putting pictures in your name is staff only, yeah.

Wow, I thought having names displayed in marquee would be cool, but after only 5 minutes it's starting to get annoying.

FELIPE NO

I wish the color wasn't white, it's hard to differentiate it from blue sometimes.

Other than that, *thumbs up*.

I like how mo0 is the vonage lady, but he still has the angel from America's Got Talent.

Also. Acer rules.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Are the gonks planning to leave their "real" username as _____GONK indefinitely now we have this feature? I'm still confused as to who some people are...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I imagine they'll ask the admins to change their official names back eventually.

I hope so. On a separate, but related note, your new username image is confusing at first, and then increasingly awesome. For a second, I thought maybe I needed sleep badly. Hey, it changed again. Now you're just fucking with us right?

No, seriously, how did you do that? It keeps changing everytime I refresh.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

IT IS A MYSTERY OF MAGIC AND AWESOME.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Now I've had a chance to think, it's not too much of a mystery... the magic and awesome are still there in spades, though.

Trying to submit any sizable unicode string fails, and comes back as garbage.
.I wanted to use.⠑⠸⠑⠉⠞⠗⠊⠉ ⠎⠓⠑⠑⠏, but only the first character shows up.

FELIPE NO

Firefox doesn't even display that . . . and firefox displays stuff that windows doesn't wanna read.

Yeah, because the Unicode characters get escaped when put into the database, so you end up with ☯ taking up the space of seven characters as "☯" and so forth. You can usually only get one or two awesome characters in at most.

Most amazing jew boots

Nice feature. I have to say that everyone using unicode symbols now looks like a box to me but if you guys want to be Wapanese fags, be my guest.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shin, you should reduce your image displayname to 19 pixels. The dimensions for that space is 131x19 pixels. Your image displayname is currently 22 pixels and that is why there is a tiny bit of space below it. It's not that big a deal but I thought I'd let you know.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ehh just wait a couple of weeks and everyone will be able to use images. It has been like that with custom titles, it will be like that with user name images (I guess)

It depends. Right now I could put biggermiu in there. We need to put a few restrictions in place before that happens because it will probably get abused if we don't. Right now it's under control being staff-only.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Anyone can put biggermiu in his or her signature.

How ya doing, buddy?
