A new variety of Soylent Green, maybe?uh... small resumed explanation please? What is Green7?
Maybe I should name my glow in the dark green one something like that.... is Green7 a new fidget spinner? I know nothing about those...
I was trying to ask @Green7 that. But no answer yet. I do have some theories:Is this about the magnificent dwarves again?
How does it do that? Changing your display name also changes how it appears on all your old posts, and I don't see his username quoted by anyone else in that thread either. I'm pretty sure that he used to have Jim (or a variant thereof) as a display name. (That or there's more than one user with that Avatar, which is also a possibility)This post would suggest he's been rocking that moniker since 2013 at least.
[USER=20622]@Neelix[/USER]
I strongly suspect it changes where you quote someone, and the quotation furniture contains their username. Also, if you at-refer to someone then I think it also encodes the user id in there which it could use to rewrite it using their new name on demand. But plain text I doubt it can keep track of, which is why I think that post proves he hasn't changed his name recently.
I just tested it, if I at-refer to you it comes out as
Code:[USER=20622]@Neelix[/USER]
Although I wonder if I can use that and refer to someone else:
@Green7
Heh, that could be rather confusing. It also suggests it doesn't rewrite the text when it's rendered, although it's still possible that when you change you name, it could search for all USER= bits with your number and rewirte them then.
