    Username help

    I am trying to change mine for the first time in about a year but when I do I get this error message ;

    "Please enter a valid Username:. No spaces, more than 4 characters and contain 0-9,a-z, A-Z"

    What's it about?

      I've no sympathy with posters who change their usernames.

        I thought we couldn't change them any more. Iwas trying to change mine but couldn't.

          I'm going to struggle with our traditional "let's all change our names to be something to do with the host country" next summer, I must admit. I know the square root of sod all about South Africa, apart from the defence of Rourke's Drift, the Battle of Spion Kop, and that Mandela fellow who had his garden landscaped at my expense.

          I'm hoping G-Man will start making some suggestions. Actually, I might just bag "Rogin's Drift".

            Well, it let me change to this but not to the 19 character four word name I had planned.

            I was thinking about my WC username for next year while watching the Confederations Cup. An Afrikaans one is tempting purely for aural aesthetics but may be unacceptable, I suppose I could go for one of the other ten offical languages.

              Ah, I've discovered the problem with my preferred new username was an apostrophe in it.

                If you check the thread details it shows you as Harry Truscott. Weirdness abounds.

                  I'll be changing mine as soon as Mowbray gets rid of Big Jan.

                    Nah, that's what I've gone with as a holding pattern as it was my original username way back when.

                      Weirdness has stopped abounding. Calm restored.

                        Roman Bednar Strokes has quite a ring to it.

                              Didn't you used to be Harry Nilsson's Death Ray? I think that was my favorite name on OTF.

                                I think I was Harry Grindell Matthews' Death Ray and Harry Nilsson's Death Flat but your suggestion is an interesting idea as well.

                                  I suppose I'm going to be sw2boer.

                                        There is apparently a town in SA called Addo, which will solve my user name needs next summer.

                                          Addo, yeah. There's an elephant reserve there.

                                          Rogin, are you sure you want me to suggest new usernames? I might give everyone really obscene vernacular names.

                                          Ah, I've discovered the problem with my preferred new username was an apostrophe in it.
                                          Damn this new-fangled board. No apostrophes allowed, and clearly no hyphens. That's it, I'm off.
