Funny story but this bug caused me like half a days worth of trying to find whats wrong. When setting up the nodebb I made an admin with ' in its username. Results were weird to say the least. I could login, but I couldn't actually do anything when I did it, most of the buttons were not working. Basically usernames are sacred for some reason.
Changing Username and Mentions
-
It came to my attention that, we are allowed to change our usernames in nodebb. When we do that, all the mentions in our previous username loses their profile link (becomes inactive). Is it possible to prevent username changes in the ACP? Here is a image showing my previous username (rahul-ramesh) without links, below.
Moreover I registered via Facebook, so I am not sure how this username change is reflected in the database, I mean will I be again able to register new account via same Facebook account? -
All of the SSO plugins will persist properly throughout username changes. The email if provided will be used to associate the account upon registration, but is otherwise unused.
