Not exactly exciting updates again, but you can't pull out exciting updates every week!

For a start, I don't see any HARM in the name change of the fashion and clothes forum - but I think you would have to be a complete and utter idiot to get confused by the old name! Next up; three letter names allowed. When was this not allowed? Graham used to have the user name 'sex' - so when were they banned?!

I know the Fashion and Clothes forum being renamed is not the most exciting of updates but I thought it was a nice suggestion and a perfectly resonable one. It isn't as if the name change of the forum took anything away from that forum, it added something. I remember when I first joined the forum and I wanted to post something regarding hair and I wasn't actually sure if I should post it in there because it just said "Fashion & Clothes", there have also been a few users before that have posted hair related issues in Dicuss Anything when it is fine for them to be posted in the Fashion forum. It's a small update but hopefully it'll stop people posting hair threads in Discuss Anything in the future.

I think people were being granted 3 letter names when they shouldn't have been as the rules stated you could not have a name that was short than 4 characters. Due to the high amount of users that have 3 letter names the rule has been changed.

I think you just couldn't register names with 3 letters but you could use vip to get it changed to 3? Some good updates though

I thought you were smart Nicola I have always regarded a hair style as fashion. After all, if a famous person has cropped hair, loads of people follow the fashion But just like you said, and I said in my first post, their isn't anything WRONG with the change.

Thanks for clearing up the three letter name thing too!

Next step 2 letter names

I think that the bot rule needed to be cleared up, and it's good that it was as people weren't sure what were the rules regarding this.

Two letter names would be silly - very few people have a two letter name in real, and I can't see why anyone would want a username like 'it'.

As this thread is made can I ask something about name changes.

I registered on the forum (again) as iPoster then got it changed to Samanthaa or something like that. Meaning I didn't want to be iPoster anymore, nor would I want to be - lost the account anyway.

Right if I remember correctly I once went on the register page and tried names which I knew was changed and things like iPoster , Samanthaa etx weren't allowed. I think it was only allowed via name change.

Can't this be changed so when someone gets their name changed to Minion for example, Samanfa would be able to be registered?
Just wondering.

Also what about initials?


Btw, say I wanted my Forum name to change to my Finland name would it have previously been allowed as it was SLW ?

Won't * and + confuse us on Who's Online as to if they are our friends and for Admins if the user is appearing offline or not?

That's what I thought and it can be confusing. For those wondering, the * and + were allowed from last weeks updates (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...01#post6923001) and not from 9/01/11.
