New Feature: Custom Display Names

Eleo can't be a mod, he's not a white gamer or an asian anime fan.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's not like my username is :biggestmiu:.

Just saying.

Pure awesome.

edit: well it doesn't work for me. Didn't check previous replies since I'm lazy.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, I really like this. People who want to have their name change fun can do so, and I can turn it off (already done).

Also, I don't know if this has been mentioned, but in order to see the names in the first place, I had to go into my Edit Options and Save, even though the Enable Display Names option was already in the Yes position.

Big thanks to Blah, Acer, and Eleo. <3

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

Ah! That was the problem.

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

Holy shit Mario Paint Mutant Baby is gonna follow me everywhere now.

Well around, when I set the Display Name Format to 'marquee' it doesn't work on

a) staff-members
b) images

I don't know which, since only staff is using images.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just as a suggestion, I think the default setup should be either Display Name On with Asterisk, or Display Name Off with Normal. Display Name On with Normal for default is confusing.

FELIPE NO

Nice job with the implementation. Now to try and keep up with the scrambled names.

Just one thing is missing from the Lite Set, as far as I can tell.
Avatars don't have any alternate text, unlike those under the regular theme. As you said the tip for them would have the regular name of the user, this becomes a bit of an issue.

Though, avatars also aren't links directly to profiles either, like they used to be. Quite a handy shortcut, that was.

Totally best ever. EVER. Whose dick must I suck now in gratitude?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Display options don't work on images, but if a staff member is using a display name it'll work as usual.

Updating now.

Is this some kind of joke
Where is the ON switch.

The on switch is in the Edit Options panel.

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

SLICED BREAD IS INFINITELY INFERIOR

(Just testing to see if this works. Mr. Blah is my hero.)

I definitely like having the name being white instead of the asterisk. This is such a great feature, someone please immortalize this in the wiki.

Requesting my displayname gets hacked to .

It's only fitting.

to mods EVERYWHERE

FELIPE NO

Did you change it back to asterisks or have you just not edited the display options into the Lite Set?

Also, while we got a thread where shit is happening, can you make it so clicking the avatar links to the user's profile? I always liked that feature...

I've moved the display options into your option settings instead of profile settings.

I'll get to work on the avatar link.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Awesome! The avatar link works now. =)

Gonna have to think of something cool for an image. Awesome job, blah!

Looks like it's working pretty well. I prefer differently colored usernames instead of an asterix (white wasn't bad, maybe a slight tint of another color), but so far I like it. Good job person that came up with the idea and person that implimented it into the site (yeah, you have names, but you know who you are).

One advantage to displaying custom names in a differerent color would that it would allow one extra character for the name. The asterisk is occupying a space as it stands.
