What’s the general opinion on this?

Ostentatious? In what way?

How do you manage to put any capitals in it, anyway? Only had the option of lower case.

I thought it was a special case for Big Hitters only?

Do initials count?

Just curious. They seem to jump out at you in the classifieds section. Not necessarily in a good way though…

So does this mean rocketdog is schizophrenic?

Underscores are showy now. Who knew? 😆

Cool, is mine annoying too then?

Capitalisation was taken away as an option

Sometimes the decadence is deserved.

Not sure if I got to capitalise the first letter of mine…

Edit- oh good, I did. Would have annoyed me if I couldn’t.

Couldn’t you, once upon a time, change it completely in your preferences? Or it changed depending upon how you capitalised in when logging in?

Tracker, that’s how mine ended up with a load of capitals 😉

I was being a smartarse and got trapped when they stopped it, mind you I like it now!

I think it all went with the ability to just changes names at will (not long after the great hack)

Mine is my initials, so it’s not en-jee as most people assume, it’s N-J-E-E. Caps weren’t an option when I signed up way back when though, didn’t even try on the post-hack site.

Block capitals is nothing, all the real **** use a mIxOfUpPeRaNdLoWeR.

Just had a little look in the profile page, and… well, I want to see how my username appears now (If it has changed, I will also be a real **** for a while).

Edit- oh well. Nothing changing there then.

Gosh. I was not aware of any restriction. Every day’s a school day.

I just think its rude….

I’m always amazed how jealousy affects some people

Never heard of thf restriction either. Given the mixture people use on here there still doesn’t seem to be one.

it seems to depend on when you created your account. When I set mine up capitals just seemed to be ignored -so although my profile page has them, and thats how I typed it creating the account, the username as it appears on the forum pages switched everything to lower case. Certainly immediately after the hack that wasn’t the case – if you go back to the first post hack thread theres capitals – and now it might not be either – but at sometime in-between the hamsters must have started running out of letraset.

Previously – for a while pre-hack – the usernames weren’t case sensitive but they’d show up capitised if that was how you typed your log in for that session

Ostentatious? moi?

I have thought of putting up a bronze plaque by the front gate reading “Austin Taesche House” or perhaps “Pretinch House”

Whatever your intention, you are en-jee now 🙂

For some reason mine almost looks like there’s a space in there.

Looks like one word to me comrade Alexsi

Post hack many people seem to manage to get capitals in.

Not here it doesn’t.

Aeons ago someone already had donk so I went with d0nk but capitalised so the zero was less obvious. post hack donk was free but for continuity I stuck with D0NK and yes it does seem a bit shouty TBH, but ostentatious? SRSLY?

I’m only a little bit ostentatious.

Not here it doesn’t.

Must be just my firefox font rendering. It does the same to GrahamS

Pre-hack names.

Wow – pages were long in those days!

I mentioned above that your user name having capitals depended on how you typed it when you logged in rather than when you created the account – they weren’t case sensitive but if you used capitals for that session thats how they presented on the forum. On that thread The Badger appears with and without a capital ‘B’ at different points down the thread.

It really boils my pi$$

Shorter pages = more clicks.

Capital letters are great.

My username is my initials 🙂
