Name change confirmation

[AssLikeThat]

HI!

So basically I changed my name to Nipple last week by accident, I thought there would be a "Are you sure you would like to change your name to 'Nipple'?" But there wasn't D;

Would it be a good idea to add a confirmation message to the name changing thing and it would prevent mistakes or anything like that.

OR you could not be a complete tit like me and type Nipple in to see if it was glitched...

It seems kind of pointless to me, after all why would anyone put in a name they didn't want and then click change?

OFF TOPIC: Have you done the same thing again or is 'AssLikeThat' intentional?

It's intentional I see where you're coming from but this is also if someone makes a Typo or something like that aswell, I just think it would be better for it to be there

I - I Don't agree, people should just read to be sure that they put in the right username before clicking confirm, I personally think if they don't read and they quickly click change that it's their own fault. But that's how I'm thinking, anyhow I don't think that it's necessary again to add a confirmation when people need to read.

It's like you're reading a terms of service, read before you agree.

1. I don't think that this is a good idea, I think that people need to re-read before they are going to confirm that they want to change names. Sure mistakes are to be made, but it doesn't automatically needs a confirmation just because of that.

Not everyone is willing to re-read, people want a website that they don't have to do much work on

I understand where you are coming from but It's too easy to make a mistake.

I feel this should be added, sometimes people try names and find out they are taken and try a different name to see if it works when they don't actually want it, I know I have done this before on xbox with my gamertag.

I once again can't agree with you here - You don't need a confirmation when you know what username you put in the box, and if you're putting the wrong username in and you're quickly pressing change then it's your own fault. I'm pretty sure that Josh won't even bother adding this, because it's not really useless for everyone because everyone knows that you read before you change something.

Yeah that's true, but it's the internet, people rush things.

Let's not go all "windows OS" on the forum, ey? Asking if we're sure if we want to do everything - it just adds time to doing what you want.

It takes all of 5 seconds to double check your name before you click confirm. That's my input.

Reece is right: I don't think that it akes long to check if you're name is right. And if that's so hard then don't bother moaning about your name being wrong.

With you..

 

[Donkjam]

Or just make sure the names right

 

[AssLikeThat]

With you..

Why thanks

Also: I don't see the problem with a message which double checks if you are sure you want the name, it's something really simple and it's not going to kill anybody...

Or just make sure the names right

Like someone said above me it's the internet people don't want to have to do that, they want something done for them

I was joking about it being on here. :'(

Gonna have a wank in a bit I think

Eh, kinda useless. Just read over your name and if it looks fine finish it. If not, then simply don't press confirm lol.
