Title: User 'prdlm2009' is now known as 'vivalarevolución'
Post by: HoffmanMyster on Wed, 20 May 2015, 10:12:04: Title says it all. I wish he went with his initial choice of 'tswiftfan' myself, but this is okay too.

Anyway, just a heads up to anyone confused by the change. :thumb:

Post by: E TwentyNine on Wed, 20 May 2015, 10:54:58: But why? The previous name was so easily pronounceable and not associated with Che Guevara in the least.

You have to make this your avatar:

Post by: vivalarevolución on Wed, 20 May 2015, 15:29:19: Wow, didn't know I deserved by own thread. I never liked my old username, it was dumb.

And screw Che. We need to be our own little revolution.

Also, I thought your real name was Fievel.

There is some setting in Windows to change "non-Unicode" to another language. I have it set to Korean on my PC at home, and I can quote problematic users' posts with no problem.

Post by: vivalarevolución on Tue, 26 May 2015, 10:08:44: I just realized that I can't sign back in on mobile because I don't know where to find accent marks on my mobile keyboard. Oops. I'm also having trouble signing back in on Windows desktops if I sign out.

You can normally long press the "o" and it will pop up other options for the letter. At least, it does that on android.

Everything is working, I just have to sign in as "prdlm2009."

I don't want to just change things all over the place, but I will do "Tswiftfan1" if there is popular demand.
