Previous nicks gone from profile?

    Has the "previous nicknames" field been removed from people's profiles? I've seen a couple of users with thousands of posts, whose name I don't recognise, but it says nothing in their profile. Then I looked at Mordeth's to see and his previous nicks aren't listed either.

    Can we get that back? I get really confused not knowing who people used to be!

    Thats what the avatars are for! Stuff seems to be going missing right now - DMCs sig, previous names and boards itself for a while (or was that just me?).

    Mordeth and Spanky are special cases. Their names change at the whim of the admins :)

    I rarely notice avatars.

    I know they are, but there's loads of subscribers who get name changes. Did you used to be someone else?

    See, I just had to waste my time stalking you to find out who you used be, when it should just be in your profile!

    Avatars change, 'previous nicks' shouldn't.

    Agree fully. It's handy for mods to know if a user has a new nick.

    Yeah, the two of you still have that field in your profiles. Odd.

    Is there actually an option for that?

    Hmm, maybe it's only name changes that took place after the upgrade that aren't recorded in profiles.
    No, mine was recorded and subsequently removed at my request. :)

    edit: space-time boards!
