@intheend

@jFar920 is a her.

You tried.

@intheend

everyone thinks @jFar920 is a boy but she is a her.

You once said he looked like the guy from Puddle of Mudd.

@intheend

I imagine you all are stick figures :3 @EvoOba @the_termin8r1 @amitrish @The_early_walker @BELL_LP. Besides @TripleXero he’s the guy from puddle of mudd

Also in case you try to pull the “TripleXero isn’t jFar920” trick.

@jFar920

I originally went by the name Firari95 (last name, year I was born), then after getting banned off YouTube, I thought of a new username. It’s basically just my favorite numbers with a Linkin Park twist to it. The things I tried were DoubleZero, DoubleXero, and TripleZero. TripleXero was the only one not taken

and…

@jFar920

I kinda want to change my username. I’ve wanted to for a while, actually. I just don’t think that TripleXero is very original, and while I don’t expect to ever become super well known, I don’t think it’s the best to use some nonsensical name based on someone else’s creation as my own. It’d be different if it was influenced by Linkin Park, but it’s straight up just their old band name

I think I might have brought this up before, but I like jFar. The problem is it’s short, so it’s been used before for other things, so it’s taken on most websites. I can’t think of any good similar variants, any ideas?

I win this one, @intheend.

[jFar920]

But how do you explain @jFar920’s long hair? They must be a girl

[the_termin8r]

You wear a wig as a distraction.

[framos1792]

Just a dude rocking the man bun

[intheend]

You forgot Jordy and Jfart

@IronSoldier16 thanks for this, very helpful and clear. Maybe a silly question, but how do you change the circular profile picture? I dislike green - particularly harshly. Any other colour I wouldn’t even ask. Most users have pictures though. Thanks for the information and help.

[the_termin8r]

@zanybelle

but how do you change the circular profile picture?

You don’t. The tards behind the scenes recently migrated the forum to another platform (or something like that) and broke a bunch of stuff. A bunch of stuff that they were supposed to fix from the migration before that one lol. Changing avatars was one of the things they broke. You can give it a shot if you want though.

Go to the main forum page, look to the top left where there should be a link to take you back to the main LPU site, log in there, change your avatar. Then come back here, log out here and then log back in here. That used to be the procedure before they further broke everything.

[zanybelle]

@the_termin8r thanks termin8r I will give it a try I imagine some of the fandom perks have been disbanded since the hiatus. Hopefully they will revive it someday…

If you mean preferences and profile, it only adds a profile background or something called User Card Background (which seemingly does nothing!) Thanks for the help

You’re on the wrong page, you have to get back to the main LPU site. The user card is the thing that pops up when you click on a profile in a thread.

[zanybelle]

Thanks. Tried this and seems to change my avatar on the main site (strangely I originally signed up from this forum, not the site). It might transfer across at some point. Otherwise, a shitty green circle it is.

[framos1792]

That’s what he meant earlier though
Since the migration a month or two ago, nobody has been able to change them,
They change there as you said but not on here
There’s a break in the link or something somewhere

[zanybelle]

@framos1792 ah, I’m with you. Thanks.

[the_termin8r]

Technically the migration was meant to make the forums and main LP and LPU sites, three separate entities. There’s meant to be a way to change your avatar from the forum settings, but none of us have found it.

[jFar920]

I’m going to email LPU HQ and ask if they can just enable some of the features they turned off on the forum for the time being if the migration is being held up/isn’t happening. Changing your profile picture on the forum itself, as well as private messaging and name changing, are basic features but since they were originally tied to the main site they were disabled

[the_termin8r]

The migration happened a while back, it’s just all broken.
