Go to dashboard -> update profile -> preferences
There is option to disable notifications.

I am glad to see this thread, my previous username was invalid as per these rules and I changed it now. But I wish there was a notification, maybe an automated PM or something. There might be users with invalid username but haven't seen the thread.
Is there a date from when this is going to be effective? And what's going to happen if someone logs in to IF after that?

This information should be sent to our email addresses. This will better keep members at alert.

At the moment we would like our members to change it themselves and avoid such situations. But when the new system comes in effect we would have to use AutoRenaming feature.

Their username will be changed to the nearest available username

For example:

-Bhavi might become Bhavi (if available)

Or it will get changed to Bhavi1 or Bhavi-1 (yet to be decided)

Your suggestions are welcomed.

Regards,


So if this does happen, how will one login once they're back to IF after a long while? Will they get a mail informing that their username has been changed into so and so? Or are the accounts deactivated?
