no because when you set it up , its all directed to your username , like all my bits go to shorthair , so if i could change my name , my bits direction would have to be changed aswell , your username is concrete and dosent change

the admin has the ability to change any data in a user's profile.. so if i was you, i'd ask Dan, and he'll probably change it.. good ol' PHPBB

But how much would dan need to change , i would think that alot of things rely on our username , and well if people start chnging there names , it just makes life harder for dan , ..... and your fairly new , jsut make a new account and transfer your bits to the new account , and ask dan t odelete the other one ,

Everything is based on account number, not name, I'm pretty sure its one change in the db....shouldn't be hard at all.

btw the pic of cervantes is blurry because he is kinda dead and I decided to make him a ghost in the sig... it doesn't look that good if its totally opaque and sharp, cuz its a sudden change to the background that looks horrible Confused

as far as i know, geocity doesn't work on compsci when linking images. Try some other web hosts. I use member.tripod.uk, and that works for me.

What is cervantes From again cervantes ?

Author:  Cervantes [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 10:14 am ]
Post subject: 

Cervantes is actually a Spanish author who wrote "Don Quixot"

but the pirate cervantes is from Soul Calibur Smile

ugh registration for tripod is currently not working... Sad

Post subject: 

tripod ain't letting me doing it either..

when I try to link to the picture it does this

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

That's because tripod doesn't like to allow offsite linking. You'd be getting free webspace and they'd be getting no money back from the advertisements that would normally be viewed by people visiting your site. So they have it set up so that you can't see any images are aren't linked from tripod hosted pages. But guess who doesn't (for free)? http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk
