Can this be fixed or is a nic change in order?
Tuesday, April 29, 2003 by citats | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
A user recently let me know that my nic messes up the file... at first I did not understand what the heck he ment then I realized that all of my Dashboard skins have broken previews (thumb nail enlarged image)
as you can see the example here. my § is shown as %A7 and a dead preview image.
I don't want to change my nic to fix the images... I would have taken Static originally but even tho I was a fairly early Wincusto user it was already taken. *sigh*

Problem solved....

I think SStatic is available.
Strangely, 'static' is quite a bit later than your ID number...

UM... specialized characters have caused a lot of troubles in the communities that post links in the site I help moderate. They have actually crashed some communities... (MSN ones)
PS... how is that new little baby doing?

@ is not a 'special character' and most people put the 'a' sound in, mentally.
I would not have known. three weeks?

In most communities a nic change changes everything, but I am not 'involved' with a lot of graphic communities. One time someone was experimenting with his nic, and I watched while he did it. I was looking at his skin at the time. But if you have really old skins, I don't know if that would be universal.

Well I just would not want the nic change to be in vain. If it was not retroactive then there wouldn't be much point to it. I would like to stick with something as close to Static as possible.
I would continue to sign everything...

If you changed it, and it didn't work, you could change it back.

In my experience, nickname changes do not carry over to skins authored in the old nickname...
