General Spoon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I noticed it now, and I'm fairly certain that it wasn't there before. Its right above where your warn level is. That wasn't there before, was it? Edited February 27, 2009 by Navarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 No, it wasn't there before. I just noticed it myself. I'm pretty sure it was added to make it easier to find the past names of members. People tend to change their names rather often around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Haha. Someone already noticed. I added that not less than 30 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Suggestion: pop up in a new window, just like the regular (profile-based) one? Oh, and awesome addition, btw. Edited February 27, 2009 by Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just noticed it as well. I think it's a good idea because if people change their name it's good to know who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just noticed it as well. I think it's a good idea because if people change their name it's good to know who they are. You could do it by going in their profile too. I guess it's more convenient/faster this way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguu Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Spoilers: You could see it by going to their profile anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yes, but this is incredibly more convenient, and yes, I'll make it pop open in a new window. Edit: Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That actually looks pretty tacky imo, besides it just saves one click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not entirely happy with how it looks either, but I choose practicality over looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNameAtAll Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not entirely happy with how it looks either, but I choose practicality over looks. Best mantra ever. Nail the practicality down first and THEN go for the aesthetics. IMO at least. >.> <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krevin Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That actually looks pretty tacky imo, besides it just saves one click. Two clicks, and profiles take a couple seconds to load, I think I'd have saved a few minutes collectively if this feature had been around since I joined.

Deity Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The new link is pretty slick. Now I wont have to go to a members profile just to find out who are they. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I like this feature. Personally I hate using the back button, so I open shit in new tabs and I don't like doing that just to find out who the hell someone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! not Display Name History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not entirely happy with how it looks either, but I choose practicality over looks. Is it possible to put it in the name drop-down menu (the one with view profile, add as friend, view posts...)? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! not Display Name History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boss battle, Bianchi. Get ready.

VincentASM Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) NIce. The link does look a bit odd, but I could try working on forcing NTG to work on that when I'm bored. This is irrelevant to everyone else, but I noticed it doesn't seem to wok for the default IPB skins, but I'm guessing you manually edited the two public skins.

Maybe change it to something smaller, like ? or * and have "Display Name History" appear upon hover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Spoon Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think that this thing is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bananna bread. And sliced bananna bread is pretty great, all the goodness of bananna bread, but with less chewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltoshen Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It looks hot, nice addition. Saves viewing people's profiles. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's the exact same thing FEP did, which is definitely a good idea. They didn't choose how it looked, that's just the default IPB style for display names.
