A question about name changes.
    #23966988 - 12/29/16 10:45 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

If someone changes their name, their old name is still available for looking up on the user list right?

I was just trying to look someone up that I know used to post here and it's not on the list anymore.  Under what circumstances would a user name be completely erased off that list?

When you search the user list, it only matches current usernames. If someone has changed their name, you won't be able to find them by searching for the old one. This is because a lot of times people change their name for privacy reasons, and if we had an easy way to find someone's old name, it would kind of defeat the purpose. However, if you want to PM me with this person's old username and your current e-mail address, I'll see if I can find their account, and I'll send them a message asking them to contact you.

Word, I appreciate it but I don't know if he remembers who I am.  We traded some :pm: a few years back, but I was looking for some links he had in his sig.  I tried going the search posts route and it's still not coming up.  His old posts from back in the day should still be around right?  A name change doesn't delete what you posted under your last name does it?

Have you tried entering his old name in the "words" part in"search posts"? It should come up if somebody quoted him while he had his old name.
