Well it could be first letter only.

irrelevant

I ment only the first letter geeez asin Jonathan istead of jonathan.

I just don't see how it's so much of a big deal.

Couldnt you change your name to onathan? Then you could use the zero and be 0nathan. It would be less coding, 0nathan.

We get n4m35 l1k3 th15 so why not ? lol

Jonathan raises a good point. And although it is an agreeable one, I do not agree.

In principle and in theory, it is sound. In practice, it is irrelevant. Usernames in Funkypool are all lower case, and that's the way it is. Even our omnipotent benefactor, Nick, reverts to nick when playing and posting.

If you want to refer to a user (example: bob____) on the forum, call him/her bob____, Bob____, Bob, Bobby, etc, even "mate". But when it comes to the actual username, you're stuck with a permutation of 3 to 12 characters, each of which can (I think) be an underscore, a digit, or a lower case letter, and at least one of these must be a letter (I have found exceptions to this rule but they seem to be older players).

I'm guessing you probably tried to give yourself a capital J at the start. Then you realised you could not. Did you consider that perhaps it is the same for every other player?

I prefer the all lower case version we have right now - simply because it makes all names have a predictable spelling.

If you were allowed to use uppercase, at the same time we should have names made case insensitive, so Jonathan and jonathan would in fact be interpreted as the same thing.

Having to keep track of who spells names with and without upper case (leading or otherwise) would be a nightmare.

Point taken..

becasue then its even more confusing.

just let it go, we dont need it - the internet is not for political correctness to put capitals at the start of names, and for that matter, anywhere in a USERNAME which is an ALLIAS...an allias doesnt need to be nancy fancy!

Lol why does it matter wheather you name is straightened out or not?

Do we??

Agree with Jan!

DO w3 r331y?

Lol But you cant stop names coming like that unless when you sign up you could have ''congrats that name is avalible''OR ''Sorry that user is invalad''.

Ok nevermind.

This is stupid, it will stay the same, it's not going to change.

With all respect, you are not the one making that call, but yes I agree that it is very unlikely to ever be changed. There are about one billion other changes that are more important to this site.

I agree he Jonathan was just sharing his thoughts and thats fine.

Oh well i was just wondering.

Yep that's what this forum is for

oh good
