I think we should be able to search display name histories. It would make finding old friends a lot easier if you've been gone for a while.

I think you should have to find the developer for that kind of function.

Moderators don't have that option either (your best bet is searching the forum for the old name, it's bound to catch a quote or two containing that name), so I don't think it's available...one'd have to ask an administrator for that, but I don't think it's possible (or feasible) to do.

Like you, there's no such option for administrators as well.

Perhaps it could work searching their login name?

Nope. It only searches for the current display name.

No, I don't think you get what he's saying.

Ambo's trying to say that maybe there should be a search that looks up people's usernames. Yeah, currently you can only search for someone's current display name, but Ambo's ->suggesting<- something else, something new.

I personally wouldn't search for people's usernames that much, but I guess that since many people have the same username as their first display name, it could be somewhat helpful in finding out people's old names.
