User Names vs. Real Names

The way the new software works (mostly to prevent people from posting as other people since you can write whatever you want in "Real Name" it will only display the user name of the poster. Changing this behavior is basically impossible, so I'd recommend just making a new user if you don't like your current one. Sorry.

any way to get the thread to show a flat view?

Set that to Flat.

Sorry about the formatting on that page. It changed completely between the last alpha and the beta, so it caught me off guard. There's probably going to be a lot of that until I get things sorted.

I'm not sure I understand. Does that mean we need a new registration to change username?

Will we be allowed to be logged in on separate computers simultaneously?

There's no way to change a user id, so you have to make a new account. You can already log in with one account on as many computers as you want.

There's one other thing I can do. You should still change to a new account, but if anyone wants the names changed on all their previous posts, I can do that too. It's going to be a one-time offer, though, because I have to do it manually. So e-mail me if you want me to do that.

Age,

I tried to log out and create a new account, but the "register" page isn't working.

- Avash

p.s. If it isn't a hassle to change my previous posts back to Avash '05, then that would be great. If it's problematic whatsoever, don't worry about it. Thanks.

Perhaps I should use this opportunity to permanently retire "One of the guys who got revenge on Volonnino", and actually go with something closer to my real name. (Well, my first name anyway. )

But once I register a new account (when the registration page is back up and running), I too would like to have my old posts retroactively changed, if it's not too much trouble, Age.

Oops. Sorry. Didn't even notice it wasn't there. I'll fix it.

Test post...please ignore.

One more thing. If you're making a new account, you can't have duplicate e-mail addresses, so you'll have to log in with your old account and change the e-mail address in your profile if you want to use the same address in the new account.

Don't mind me. Just testing quoting, which seems to work now.

So now we have to choose flat or threaded as our default? I really liked being able to move swiftly from one to the other to suit the needs of a particular topic.

Beeeej

Plus, after I posted the above reply, and got sent back to "Message List," I clicked on this topic again - and got the 12 old posts, all tagged as "new," with my new post missing. I had to hit reload for mine to show up.

And my signature appears not to be showing up.

If these are things you're already working on, ignore me.

Beeeej

Never mind the signature part.

Beeeej

Okay, maybe mind the signature part. Still not showing up despite my having changed the settings.

Beeeej

P.S. Yes, I am enjoying the conversation.

P.P.S. Oh, there it is.

Fuck, shit, cock, ass, titties, boner, bitch, muff, pussy, cunt, butthole, Barbra Streisand!

Okay, the cursing filter is off :D

'Muff'? Man, how old are you?

Other people have complained about that, but the developers don't seem to care. When all the major issues are resolved, I'll see about making a quick link to change it.

I haven't seen the problem you mentioned. The new version seems to be pretty good about caching, but I threw on the same kludges I used on the old forum, so you shouldn't see that again. Let me know if you do and what browser you're using.

I think we're both confused now. There's an "Add my signature to this post" checkbox above the smileys. You can set your preferences in your profile to have that checked all the time by default, if that helps. Also, I'm aware the signature isn't formatted the way it used to be. Working on that too.

All you have to say is "ear muffs" then you can say anything!

I'm going to reset the post count so it includes the user posts from before the migration. Does no one else want to change their account name?

Will "Will"'s post count include "One of the guys..."' post count?

Yes, for those of you who had me replace your old account(s) with a new one, I switched ownership of all your old posts to the new account.

Yay! Thanks.

It's done, and number of posts now shows up in the user profile.

Greetings - Does anyone know or can anyone tell me how to find the officials for the Harvard-clarkson ice hockey game- March 13, 1971...Thank you very much, Susan

Do you mean the March 12, 1971 ECAC seminfinal loss to Clarkson? I don't know the answer to your question but I thought I'd try to clarify. You might want to try talking directly to the ECAC although I don't know how good their records are. From their Staff Directory:

Paul Duffy
Coordinator of Officials
Phone: 508/771-5060
Fax: 508/771-9486
e-mail: duffyp@geneseo.edu

Steve Hagwell
Associate Commissioner for Men’s Hockey
Phone: 508/771-5060, ext. 226
Fax: 508/771-9486
e-mail: shagwell@ecac.org

They might have leads but then again I don't think many people on this board think the ECAC has its act together when it comes to hockey.
