This is the greatest computer site EVER! ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 12:14 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- apomb Sun Jan 25, 2004 12:28 pm ----------------------------------- OOOH ic ic thx n e way ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sun Jan 25, 2004 6:03 pm ----------------------------------- i've been meaning to do that...but i'm sure if u ask Dan niceley enough he'll recode the system... to add names to our profiles :roll: ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sun Jan 25, 2004 6:24 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:28 pm ----------------------------------- 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 , ----------------------------------- octopi Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:42 pm ----------------------------------- Everything is based on account number, not name, I'm pretty sure its one change in the db....shouldn't be hard at all. ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:43 pm ----------------------------------- i can chage your user name if that is what you mean, but u whould have to login with the new name not the old one. ----------------------------------- apomb Tue Jan 27, 2004 1:51 pm ----------------------------------- Well thank you very much for all of the great advice...

Try some other web hosts. I use member.tripod.uk, and that works for me. ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jan 27, 2004 10:32 pm ----------------------------------- Well thank you very much for all of the great advice... UUM would Hacker Dan please concider changing my name to CompWiz333 if it is at all possible... Thank you again :) changed ----------------------------------- Cervantes Wed Jan 28, 2004 10:03 am ----------------------------------- Thanks Asian, I'll give that a try (somehow I had a feeling it was Geocities shittiness that was ruining it :( ) ----------------------------------- shorthair Wed Jan 28, 2004 10:04 am ----------------------------------- What is cervantes From again cervantes ? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Wed Jan 28, 2004 10:14 am ----------------------------------- Cervantes is actually a Spanish author who wrote "Don Quixot" but the pirate cervantes is from Soul Calibur :) ugh registration for tripod is currently not working... :( ----------------------------------- Cervantes Wed Jan 28, 2004 1:11 pm ----------------------------------- tripod ain't letting me doing it either.. when I try to link to the picture it does this http://g_stanley0.tripod.com/Cervantes_Banner.jpg ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jan 28, 2004 2:30 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Cervantes Fri Jan 30, 2004 6:23 pm ----------------------------------- sweet got it working! thanks mazer and asian!! :) btw that site is awesome!
