Some people recognize you by your old name, and don't know who you are if you change your name. You could have a former username button on the bottom of the page so people could recognize you as you.

It says on your account, "previous usernames: rick, bob, joe"

No support, if they didn't already recognize you by your personality, post count, look, ect, ect, then they can just go to your profile.

A. Both of you are the Roblox equivalents of Deletionists on Wikipedia. B. Plenty of people are tracking a very active thread and want to read the replies ASAP.

But they have a friend who changed their name and want to find if it really is Y without losing much time. Just a quick mouse over something below the forum avatar.

But would it take much time to right click on their username/character icon, and open their page in a new tab? Exactly. It wouldn't.

You're acting like this is a matter of life and death. People can easily just go on the profile or simply recognize them by a lot of other things.

@Rex It doesn't take a lot of time to click their profile, but honestly - who regularly clicks on someone's name on the forums anyway? @Creator Support, it's a decent idea.

Do I know you, Ego? Quit following me to every thread I post on. >.> And I do click on people on the forums regularly. And besides, if you do know someone and you know that they've changed their name, you should know what that new username is, if you're actually their friend.

@Rex I'm actually not following you... you posted on my thread, that's different.. Also, maybe you do, but I'm pretty sure most don't. And, he's talking about people that aren't your friends, but notice your name around the forum.

I'm an active RTer, and people all the time are changing their usernames. Most of the time I can tell who they are, because of their post count or character, or their signature, but sometimes if I CANNOT tell who they are I simply click on their profile. If you cannot click on a freaking button you shouldn't be allowed on a computer. Їℕ✞∃ℛℜ☮ℬѦℕḠ‽
