The name change for Bryan Wells11 has been approved.
right here you can find GIFs in all sorts of dimensions—just click on one and you'll get the direct links—but unfortunately, they don't carry any 70x70 options 😁
I gave it a shot, and it works perfectly fine. The file ended up being slightly smaller than the required dimensions since they only had options that were either too small or way too large; I just used the larger one as a static image. I simply linked the GIF address directly instead of attempting a manual upload from my computer.

Honestly, everything is laid out right there in the very first post, including the fact that users with fewer than 50 posts have the option to change their username entirely. If you're on board, Bryan Wells11 works fine. So, just without the numbers, like I already told you.
Point six of the initial post: Before you even think about requesting a nickname change, make sure the one you want isn't already taken. You can easily check this by clicking on the Member List. Keep in mind that the forum doesn't distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters in usernames. For instance, you won't be able to claim "Blabla" if "BLABLA" is already in use.
Dimitri already pointed this out above. Seriously people, read the first post. Moving forward, I am going to be deleting any requests from anyone who clearly hasn't bothered to read the rules.
I need someone to document the exact date and time that the eviction took place so I can file a formal report. The more instances I have on record, the better.

I realize this is driving everyone absolutely insane, but I honestly can't remember the last time I was actually logged out like this. I’m accessing the forum from my desktop using Google Chrome and on my phone via Safari and Chrome, switching between my home Wi-Fi and my cellular data. The only thing I don't touch is public Wi-Fi. And yeah, I've got that checkmark appearing next to my login everywhere.
I’ve made this point before, but I suppose I’ll say it again: if you keep getting kicked off the forum, stop blaming the site and start looking at what you actually have installed on your computer or mobile browser. We all love loading up on various add-ons, extensions, and antivirus software thinking they make our browsing experience smoother or "safer," but if you’re running some aggressive extension or an antivirus program that wipes your cookies every sixty seconds instead of waiting until you close the browser, well, you’ve created your own headache. No one else knows the specifics of your setup—not us, and certainly not the admins—so take it upon yourself to educate yourself, do a quick search on Google, and fix your own settings. The issue isn't the forum.
