Changin my username.

Mods, could you make it so my username is MidnightLeopard instead of midnightleopard. I just think that the capital M and the capital L are cooler. Thank you!

Re: Changin my username.

I'm not so sure they would want to do that.

If they do this to you, then the whole scratch community will want a new name and people will be stealing IDs.

Re: Changin my username.

If you change the name, wanna know what would happen? The server would get confused between your old and new usernames, the project pages would be messed up, your user page would be messed up, your forum posts would be messed up, everything with your name in it would be messed up.

Plus loads of people would start wanting to have their name changed aswell. So even more things mucked up!

Contact the scratch team instead of telling the whole world about it.

It was Lanie624.  wink

But she made another account for it, rather than actually changing her username...

It can't actually get anything messed up. All he wants to do is change some lowercases to CAPITALS. My username, (EmperorEvil) uses capitals to separate words. If my username was emperorevil, then that would not look great, or in my case, powerful (Just kidding! I have no REAL power over an empire). Also, the user DREAMEATER, to see his projects you can go to http://scratch.mit.edu/users/dreameater , even though his username is all capitals, you can use that link to view his projects, which I hope you do not. He is an example account and is too violent for anyone to look at his projects.

its in lowercase because thats how the website interprutes(sp?) it and that would still get mucked. Maybe a mod should explain.

Some signatures are bad.  This one is REALLY bad.
