changing one's nick name, what will be changed and what will stay the same? I mean the rep power, history posts and threads, all these my nick will change in them or just a start from the scratch? For example if someone did quote me, will the quote come in my new or old nick?... Lots of questions...Please need help with the idea, just to know the consequences.
Thanks.

as mentioned above...
but if a member quotes you it will be with your old nick...
we might concider running a replace query on the database to sort that out...

Great...This is what I was thinking about, but sure this is just as the FBI call it, to be "wiped up", just think of it ... As if it never exist!:mmhmm:
This remembers me with the movie Men In Black, when he just flash his stick and zoooooot...
Anyway, I am just happy that we have that much of options and ways to make changing your name just a walk in the park. I am thinking seriously in it, thought I don't think it is a good idea.:rolleyes:

I have a question anyway. Let's assume that there's a dead member holding a nick s/he didn't use for 3-4 years, could anyone request his/her nickname to be changed into that one? I know that they might come back, but the chance is yet way too weak!
Just wondering.
