Username change?

[John_Mc]

I just noticed that I can edit my user name. If I change it from its current "John_Mc" to "John Mc" (change the underscore to a space) will the change show up in my past posts, and will my stats still be the same as they are now, or do I lose my history and my posts reset to 0?

For some reason, I thought spaces were not allowed in names, but I see some in usernames on the member list. Perhaps my impression came from an older version of the forum software?

It will simply change your nickname while retaining everything else, like stats and such. It will need to be approved by the moderators though, so it may take a little bit to change.

Your old posts will change to the new name except where someone quoted you. Quotes will retain the old name.

I'm talking about quotes done before the name change. Quoted posts AFTER the name change will display the new name.
