Username change
Back to General discussions forum
Hi, I'd like to change my username to the same as the one I use on GitHub, but when I try to change it in settings nothing happens. I get the message "Name was changed!" but the page reloads and the old name appears again. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the name change functionality doesn't work like that. Thanks!
Sergio, Hi!
Thanks for reporting it. I tried, it reproduces - investigated - and found very silly bug:
When refactoring code to put it to github, in this line I replaced some ugly construct with call to function which checks that user is not suspended (in which case it is no good to change the name).
Obviously I meant if "not suspended" - but forgotten the logical inversion!

Now it should work. Please try. If all is ok, I'll also update the code at github.
Works! Thank you very much and congratulations for the website. I hope to be able to apply for a certificate soon :)
Oh, that would be great! It is quite some time already since anyone claimed any certificate :(
