Filtering by name doesn't work with a namechange

[BIWitched]

I changed my username for Halloween, and now if I want to see all of my posts in one go (very useful on Bootcamp) I can't. I can only see the ones in my new name.

Is there anyway this could be addressed?

Hi @BIWitched,

We don't think there's any way round this, we're afraid - because if you were able to see all of your posts (under different usernames) on the same thread, then everyone else would also be able to see them...

Which is fine for a harmless Halloween name change, but could cause problems on other threads if someone's inadvertently had a name change fail.

(Though it might help with spotting sock puppeting trolls. Hmm.)

If you'd like us to change things over on the Bootcamp thread so all of your posts are showing under the same user name, just ask.

Ah yes - I understand.

No worries, but thanks for the explanation.
