Is it too late to change my display name to HOGANFORPREZ? What a classic, subtle, non descript username

Display name for Tea. But what happens if there is a space (or odd character) in your display name?

I would assume that you would then use Tony Tea exactly how it is written as your login name spaces and all.

Why would that happen?

I'm not sure it would, but because so many display names have spaces it could happen. Usually with spaces an automatic "%20" gets inserted for things like web addresses, user names etc, could cause problems?

ie - "Deestroy All" would become "Destroy%20All"

It will only affect people who have changed their initial name that they signed up to Demonland with.

For you personally if you signed up as dpositive then your username and display name are the same and you don't need to worry about anything.

Prior to this change if you started as ABC but changed your Display name to XYZ then currently you would be logging in as ABC as that is your Username despite your Display Name being changed to XYZ.

Under the new software everyones Username (the name you log in with) will be replaced by your Display Name (the name everyone on Demonland see above your avatar). In the above example the poster will have to now log in as XYZ to post on Demonland rather than ABC.

If you have never changed your Display Name then it will not effect you as your Username and Display Name were always the same.

I doubt the makers of this software for this forum would [censored] up their users forums like that.

well if "Tony Tea" is worried about imbedded blanks, i assume it is not too late for him to change to "TonyTea"

I doubt that will be an issue.

Yeah, just a possibility worth checking their FAQ's for when making a decision I guess.

Would be fun to have "username" activated, just for a couple of days, so that we can see who is who. Then flick it back to display name so that we can update our "ignore" list.

I would assume that if you have someone on ignore and then they change their name you would still be ignoring that person despite the name change.

I have a username?

The only reason I remember my display name is that I see it.

I see in your signature that you were formally astrodee. Is that not the name you use to log in to Demonland?

Okay my username and original display name is a bit embarrassing so I'm glad we're going with current display names lol.

Nope.

I use my display name. Astrodee (and posts under that name ) sorta disappeared during the tea trolley disaster or whatever caused that crash some time back and we had to re register.

Anyway that's my memory if it. Mind you, my forgettory is far more powerful.

But bugger it, I still remember Harrison and Weideman wrecking 1958 for me. One of the reasons I want to draft his grandson is that perhaps he can make up for his grandfather's thuggery by starring in a flag for us.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
