I just changed my member name from yoro42 to Rory42. I do not see any posts made by yoro42 when looking for posts by rory42. Will they show up eventually or do I just have to search for posts by yoro42 to see old ones? Thanks,

My Post Counts are back so I think I'll stay w/ yoro42 unless thew counts are transferable (magic?) to new user name.

yoro42 / Rory42, I think it's all to do with the forum software actually being a separate peice of software - it's just that the WCG techs have so closely connected the two, that they both look as though they're seemless.
----------------------------------------So, as you've worked out, your forum posts/post count don't transfer over when you change your username on the main WCG website.  |
