I used to be Æthelred, with a diphthong; but now I'm Æthelred !

I promise I didn't include a non-standard character to mess with forum admins.

Please fix my name. :)

    Until it's fixed, I should just be able to cut and paste übergeek into the login and it should work. I'll find out the next time the cookie expires.

    Doesn't it only expire every two years? If so, less trouble for you.

    See also my sig. Used to be Überlist, now it changed to durkadurkaberlist. My wild guess is that the forums were saved on a machine that doesn't recognize umlauts etcetera during the repairs.

    *edit: editting it fixed it all right. :D

    It's even more fun when trying to log in. Good luck typing your name if it looks like some of the things reported in this thread. I mean, I wouldn't even know how to type all of the characters in my "new" username (copy/paste isn't really all that convenient, especially when using more than one computer. Keeping your username in a text file on a USB flash drive is only amusing for so long...) :(

    It's just an encoding thing. While annoying for alphamonkey to find out where the UTF-8 conversion isn't working it right, it is simply fixed.

    However, I too vote it is not, to get back at all the people with UTF-8 World of Warcraft names that made writing my crawler a bitch. I feel alpha's pain :)

    The encoding seemed to change my "Lord of the Mööse" to "Arch Faggot".

    I suspect some sort of shenanigans.

    So we can't change our own names, right? Isn't it up to the mods to just mass-change the wronged victims?

    It gives them something to talk about when someone asks why they have such a weird name. It gives them character.

    There's certainly a whole lot of characters there, at any rate.

    Anyway I'll be fixing people's names in this thread, post what it used to be so that I can copy paste it. This is NOT a name change thread and you are NOT getting your name changed to anything other than what it used to be.

    I'd be happy if I could be changed back to "Dirhael"
    (It was originally spelled with a "í" but changing it to a regular "i" would mean nothing like this could happen in the future).
