    To be honest, I'm not sure on the capitalization part of your question. If it's something you want to do go ahead and try it and if it doesn't work, I can override it for you.

    It definitely does not affect premium membership though... that I know for sure.

    Hey it worked! :) I Personally I think it looks alot better now. I also managed not to send a E-check this time.

    I have another question that I have been wanting to ask. any chance of recovering the 500sih posts I lost when my account was killed by the Database corruption last year around this time?

    *Note the Google Cache Pics my Sig*

    To be honest , i tried a lot on my own vb forum , but italics seem to be the best..other options are like changing the color and all , but then that will make this forum look like a zoo..(no offense though)..:p

    You already have a Image next to your Username which happens to be your Avatar why would you need more?

    I hate clutter. Blinking/flashing/too many graphics... no.

    Would rather have a fast website.

    Sending much manlove your way, Shawn, for this awesome new feature. I guess it doesn't update the counters though? I can live it with it. :)

    In VB Admin it's under Maintenance. If you update the counters any mention of an old username gets changed to the new etc.

    on a database with over 12 million visible posts? that could be a strain.

    Counters don't need to be updates because everything where it applies is already updated automatically.

    Would it be possible to keep my Italics? Because I like my Username this way because it kinda stands out more, and I only got like 10 days left before I lose them.

    Well *technically* it's possible, just not practical. If someone were to repay for the username change, but then not actually change it, their username stays as italic for another 3 months.
