getting sick of being a number (seemed a good idea at the time). Is it possible to change, or do I need to start over?

Thanks
Mark

u2u chrisW, you'll get a faster answer and i suspect he's most likely to know the answer! See ya 9904169!!! sorry, i meant mark!

I can... but it's not an easy job and involves me hacking around in the databases. If you really want it done, email me and I'll put it on the list!

Chris

nah don't wory about it. No biggie!!

At least somene knows my name!!

Mark

I used to have a mate called 9904170

Do you know him?

Cheers

Chris

Can we call you 99 for short . It's not your phone number is it?.

yours, Pete.

Pete, I'd prefer 69. But thats just me perhaps!

I asked ChrisW to alter my screen name and it seems like a complicated task. Perhaps it's easier if you open another name and ask Chris to delete your old one? Due to complications with hosting and stuff it's not fair on him, even though he was quite passive on it.

Thanks tho' Chris - you're a gent!

I haven't been able to get into hosting for a while - what's the limit on personal webspace?

I am not a number I am a free man !

iron maiden rules...

Seem to be the latest new kids on the block - latest album for Maidenite's is cool.

Even from Lowestoft they are good...

Darkness are fun live.

as for the name change.. should be fairly trivial 5-minute bit of command line sql hacking if the database for the forum is designed at all sensibly.. I think chrisw is making a "reluctant system administrator estimate" of the difficulty

Do them myself all the time, takes one to spot one.. sorry chris

It needs to be changed in a about 12 tables, made more complicated by the fact that XMB had a crap database structure to start with which has been hacked about even more by me

Sorry... it is a longer job than you imagine and the time is better spent fixing more of the moans you lot have... Links page is next!

fair dos, the db sounds a bit pants.. I use phpbb2 myself, it's quite nice.
