    Exclamation It's broken

    Okay....so everyone has seen the name spoofing April Fools joke we pulled.

    There were also a few merger threads, but of course those weren't true. In the process of removing them and also undoing the name spoof.

    But we're having a problem with the name spoof....it's broken and we can't figure out how to undo it.

    At this point it's looking like we'll need to repair each account manually and that will take awhile.

    Changing 100 names to 1 name is easier than changing 1 name to 100 different names it seems

    And we did it to a lot more than 100 members...

    Admins are back to normal now...will tackle the remaining hundreds over the next week I guess.

    so quick question, since its all in an SQL data base (or so i think thats how it works) why not get all users with a display of MM then loop a script that takes those users and gets their real name, then saves it as a variable and changes their display name to the variable. but i would think that it would have been tried 1st.

    Click on "movieman" where their normal name should be, the dropdown box will contain their normal name.
    Hopefully that saves you some grief

    I'll just post this here considering the fake merger thread has been deleted:

    Wonder who I am

    "Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two points. The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to that subject, it doesn't bother you anymore".

    Oh, Vapor, when you get to fixing my name back the way it is supposed to be, could you make my user title red again? When I messed with it yesterday the red disappeared. Thanks
