The board is still pretty empty. You're just hearing an echo.

Welcome to MythTV Official Forums forums
This should be fixed since we changed the name of the board :)

while registering, if you set the language (to different then the default), it takes effect immediately. This also results in some already filled in fields (password confirmation as important example) to go blank.
I would suggest to let the language setting only have effect after the confirmation. ;)

No way to change username or delete an account

Post by Confuzed »

While it may simply be a limitation of the phpBB software, it would be nice to be able to change our usernames. I chose my current name because I use it on other forums, then realized that I probably should have used my name from the mailing list... but apparently it's too late now. If this can be enabled, I think it would be worthwhile.

Additionally, I don't see an option to delete a user account; so I can't simply delete and recreate it (especially because I like using social logon). I suppose I could just change my account's email address and abandon it, but that's not ideal either.

I'll have to hack at the code, but I'll see what I can do.

Two things to report for me...

The header overlays some forum content - the MythTV logo always does, and the "Advanced search" link sometimes does. A (larger) margin for the top of the forum layout would do the trick. Or even a couppla line breaks.

Also - could be just me, as I've not yet finished my first caffeinated beverage of the day - I can't find a link to my profile (to edit bits of it).

Cheers,
Mattt.

Can you grab a screenshot of the header problem? I can't reproduce in any browser, nor can browsershots.org. Try clearing out your browser cache first.

To edit your profile, click on the "User Control Panel" link at the top left of the page, just below the "Board Index" breadcrumbs. Then click on the 'Profile' tab.

Thanks, but I don't see the option to change it in the "Edit Account Settings" page of the "profile" tab. Am I looking in the wrong place? Perhaps it's because I used social logon (google)

This "user control panel" link no longer appears ... I was able to set up mine on the weekend, but can't access it anymore :cry:

Can you check again? I must have forgotten to save the changes ...

In: User Control Panel, Profile tab, Edit account settings, I see:

Code: Select all

Username:    bill6502 
Length must be between 4 and 20 characters.
...
but no ability to change the Username or delete it. I have no need to, but I was just following the thread.
