My Board: https://vscforum.forumotion.com
This is a bit convoluted but I hope someone gets a laugh at my expense.
I am the founder of the above forum board. The board is set to allow members to change their usernames. My original founders username was simply Admin. Yesterday I successfully changed it to reflect part therof my name and part therof a close forum friend's name. I made a typo so I changed it again. In doing so I made another typo. (oh yes I did ) I tried to change it and got a red and gray warning that the name was disallowed. I thought why? I tried again with the same result. To be sure it wasn't just that particular name that was being disallowed I tried other names - all disallowed. I suspect embedded security is now preventing the change given that I've had a go at it a few times.
Please! I'm in trouble. What can I do to change it to what I want now please members?
Sincere thanks in anticipation of your kind assistance.
Thank you,
Melina
Hello everyone :-)
I've been somewhat loath to post the results because through my own silliness and forgetfulness I've caused you all unnecessary work. I really apologise most sincerely.
So, here it is. When we first started I must have, as skouliki suggested, censored some usernames. The one's I've since been trying to use were among them. Today I managed to change the founder name to what we wanted.
Thank you guys, all of you, from the bottom of my heart for your patience and perseverance with me. All I can say is that I've suffered a longer lasting than usual, 'Seniors Moment' .
Best wishes for a wonderful Xmas and an especially safe one.
Bye for now,
Melina.
