Users whose name starts with a number.

Post by PeterJ »

You have probably realised already that the mention feature where you type @ then start typing the user name does not work if your username starts with a number. There are ways around it by using tags but it's not as intuitive.

This is a bug with one of the phpBB extensions we use.

If you want your username changed please PM me.

Hehe. Looks like 4throck had the right idea. He was the first person to join the forum, and he must have known that less people would ping him to give him jobs as a result!

In which case I'd like to change mine to 16384R-Tape (kidding—don't you dare! :mrgreen: )
