Display name is cool for me.

Display name for me.

Display is a-ok.

I support the proposition.

i think the ayes have it

Would have thought a poll could be a better way to get the responses?

But in case not, display is fine with me.

Display is fine with me also

It wasn't something that was really up for a vote. I just wanted to get a quick straw poll on whether the consensus agreed with me.

Display name for me (but the alternative really should be datplay name )

Works for me. Been Adzman for years now.

Are display names unique on IP Board? I know with other forum software only the ID/username is unique and display names are not.

OK with me

makes no difference to me... both mine are the same. Go Dees

I'd like to go by my wrestling name please.

"Randy (Hard Rock) Candy."

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.

If it aint broke dont fix it

I tend to leave things alone if they are working well.

I understand as a demons supporter that we do need to change to improve however and I thank all you people who provide this site with the apparent skill that keeps it going. If the club and players were able to emulate the same effort and success we would be celebrating.

Have an amnesty period. Give us a set date for the change in advance.

This would allow everyone to set their Display Names to whatever-the-hell they want.

Then it makes no difference whatsoever.

edit: clarity.

It's not just a matter of if it aint broke don't fix it.

We are way behind in updating the software and we are at a point that they will no longer support our version soon and if something breaks then we are not covered.

They are both unique.

Well just fix it !! What the hell do we pay you blokes for?

when is this upgrade occurring? or has it already?

Overnight tonight. I'll post about it later.

I think we all should attend a rally at Dallas Brooks Hall to thrash this issue out.

No merger.

I'll just sign up all the employees in my organisation and stack the vote. Too soon?

So how do you treat your guests?

So after the change, logging in with the display name instead of old username is all that needs to change? Same password? History of posts etc. for that display name are all kept ??
