Unfortunately, no, because quotes and mentions uses Display Name instead of ID's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It changes in the author pane of the post but not in quotes which doesn't make sense. It makes sense to make it retroactive in both or none. Change username, show old username in old posts and quotes or new username in old posts and quotes. So at least the posts match up with the respective quotes, which they don't. A flaw in pretty much every forum software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
