Username: New@Geckos

[Elizabeth Freer]

There is a member on GU New@Geckos who posted a thread: Gecko is a boring eater on the 28 June 2015.

Click: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...-feeding-issues-/78948-gecko-boring-eater.html

When I go to the profile, I get to New2Geckos.

Is this similar to LEOPARD1's username issue when his username was LEOPARD@1?

the @ is used in hashtags, it's an internet language feature, i'm afraid we can do nothing about it

[MENTION=1]Marty[/MENTION] knows how to fix it, just like he did with LEOPARD1's a few months ago.

or the user can just take it out if it's causing a problem with his interface?

Liz, I don't understand why you're posting about this and not the user who is affected?

A member cannot change his/her own user name. :/

I understand that, Liz, but if a user has a problem with their name and/or account they should be bringing it to us, not you. possibly he doesn't mind that you can't link directly to his page from his posts? why are you involved?

elizabeth,
are you thinking it could be a fake account wanting to do some damage f.e. by hacking the forum? I can tell you we would already have to deal with it if it was the case.
Anyway, such matters (the username changing) are completely in the moderators' attributions so you don't need to worry about such things we are just thankful when inappropriate posts such as spam, racism, members insulting each other are brought to our attention, as for other cases, we can deal with them without the forum members opening threads for such reasons
