(Announcement) Your username might change due to an upcoming release.
Hello Dimers,
For certain security reasons, We have decided to put certain restrictions on the login name. We would allow Alpha numeric characters [A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], Dot (.), Hyphen (-) and Underscore (_)
We would not allow anyone to use space or comma or @ sign. Existing users who have such special characters within their Login name will be assigned a new Login name and email communication will be sent for the same.
If there is no special character, you will not be impacted at all.
Along with this change, we would now also allow Dimers to change their Login name from the Settings itself. No need to tag or message any Admin/moderator for Login name change. However, the login name can be only changed thrice… So use it with Caution.
We apologize for the inconvenience which might be caused to few users but we are going ahead with the same as it’s very difficult to tag such users (with space or special symbols) eg. @no fpd Also since many users end up using email address in their Login name… they also end up unintentionally sharing their email address whenever they interact with the community.
Hope the information helps users who might be impacted.
Welcome move towards more safer community !!!
Is it live now, cant see the option
Not LIVE yet… Probably sometime this week.
I thought its better to let everyone know so no one is pleasantly/unpleasantly surprised.. Including yourself
Good move..Usernames should not have spaces !!
Any chances of allowing email id update??
Yes… It should logically be allowed. We will bring that change soon.
I want to change my email ASAP !
THANKS ADMIN SIR.
@admin a suggestion,
the earlier user name should be seen by a user after login. Example, if user ‘A’ changes to ‘B’, any other user say ‘C’ can see that User B was previously A.
By this one can get to know his fellow dimer who changed his user name. For example @BatraJi was previously beloved @@KuttaJi@@
This wont remain much of a problem now as each user will be able to change only 3 times in a Lifetime. However, point noted.
For tagging someone, we need to enter FOUR @ two in front and two in end. It would be great if you can simplify.
Just a suggestion/feedback. You might choose to ignore.
@admin
Sorry for tagging again.
That’s Great…
WOW What a " BURNING DEAL "
Coming ‘release’? As in an app update? Is it wishful thinking to think that iOS platform would also get one(update)?
I will always remain CODY Don’t ever bother to change my name even in ur dreams. Or else it will not be good for u.
Admin’s should also give us access to PHPMyAdmin so that we can change our surname as we want when we need.
What is phpmyadmin btw.
not good , allow every one to change their user name of their own choice once again , I want to change my user name
No pblm at all but still I would like see more changes atleast from now onwards…!!!
Achha he maine paisa underscore se mangta hu. Varna muje bhi naam change karna pdta. Paisa_de
Piesa_le
Don’t worry @vijkap202, we are both safe…
you have two id’s
अरे यार
यह क्या किया
bewde your username with change to offline_bewda
@A2Zdeals – point to add to my above comment.. – Dimers have never faced any issues in reaching out to me. I guess me being active through suggestions…(pun intended on me ) has always ensured easy accessibility to my fans and co-dimers…
Can you elaborate about how removing spaces will prevent from sql attacks ?
@admin
Please release a feature as if you want to tag someone, and if we type some part of the name it will show suggestions. And if we click on that name, it will be tagged. It will useful for many people
You must be talking about app, on web it is there
