Honestly, I was trying to imitate someone:



But it didn't work. The name's not in use, though, so why did it reject?

It's Wert's sign-up name, you know the first name you use when signing up.


Yeah, you can't use someone else' sign-up name

That's exactly right, you are only changing your display name. Even if your name has been changed, the forum keeps your original connected. Unless you get an admin to change, I don't think you can have the exact name. I could tell you a way to get by this, but I wont, as you are trying to imitate someone.

OK. i just wanted to know why it happened and that it isn't a glitch. I can't really imitate now because everybody know what I'm going to do, so

As has been pointed out, you cannot set your display name to an existing login name. Impersonating another member is a big no-no, too, and you could find yourself in trouble with the administration if you do it.

I can change login names at request, if you send me a private message. Users do not have the ability to change their own login names.

I decided not to do it anyways, even if you fixed the problem.
