zomBEE Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 My username on my forum is two letters. People have not been able to use me as a referral or tag me because I'm guessing it takes 3 characters to bring up names? Is it possible to change that?
Adriano Faria Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 It’s hardcoded in 3 characters. You would need to edit a couple of files to achieve this. Not recommended.
zomBEE Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Okay, so it seems it's coming up to tag, but now when choosing who referred them (on sign up)
tonyv Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I wonder if would be possible to add a blank space to your user name, like an invisible character. For example, if your user name is ZB, maybe you could try ZB_ (with the underscore being just a tap of the space bar). Haven't tried this -- just an idea ...
Meddysong Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 That wouldn't help, unfortunately, because if it's invisible, the user wouldn't know to add it after the visible letters.

Yes, I was just thinking maybe it would change the two character name to a three character name in the system and cause it to populate in the list when a user starts to type the first two characters.
Meddysong Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Oh, you could be right! I thought it needed you to type the third letter before doing the look-up but it seems that you don't, so your idea might actually work 🙂
