Why is my display name (or someone elses) looking a bit different?

[Sophie_M]

Hello everyone and thank you for being a part of this wonderful community,

You may notice your display name has changed a little bit recently, this is because as we update our Forums some character types are no longer available. Your name may have changed slightly if you joined while we were using some older technology.

If your username has updated and you want to chat with us about changing it please contact modsupport@beyondblue.org.au.
The following characters are allowed : alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), dashes and underscores

Thanks again for all of your support and for making this space the kind, open and helpful place that it is!

Kind regards,

Sophie M

Thanks Sophie_M for this information.

If I want to search for someone, by entering their username, would I search typing their original username for posts make prior to a change to their username?

& will I have results for older posts if I search typing in the updated username?

Hi mmMekitty,

Great question. The updated usernames will appear across all posts, so it would be best to search with the new, updated username. You should be able to see older posts this way, too.

We hope that answers your question. Thanks for asking us this, mmMekitty. 🙂

Kind regards, 

Sophie M
