Is it possible to add emojis next to usernames, here on the SL forums?

Hi Anyone know if the rumor going around last year about 'Residents' being able to change their username and able to choose a surname was a hoax .... or for real reals? If real then when will this be available??

hello, i am new to the community forums so forgive me if this has been stated before (i searched beforehand to no avail but i may be missing something) and also if this is incorrect placement please feel free to move this thread! i've been a member of secondlife for over 10 years and had a few different accounts, with the changes and whatnot happening i decided now would be a good time to come back. one of the main issues i've had for awhile now with secondlife is the fact that you cannot change your username. i know im not the only one who thinks this, i was recently talking to my girlfriend about it too. it forces people to commit to old usernames because most of the items which have real money spent on them are non transferable. this is especially a problem for people who realize theyd now rather be anonymous, or (if you'll bear with my social justice-ness) for people who transitioned gender and no longer want a name associated with their old one. or just for people who no longer feel connected to it for whatever reason. so im not looking for an answer to a question as much as im looking for a response/action taken from the linden team. my recommendation is that you put a time limit on it, deviantart recently did this so that you can only change your username once every 6 months. this would prevent people changing their identity too rapidly, you could also have old usernames push through to new ones to prevent confusion in those looking for old members (and prevent impersonation in some cases), again something which deviantart did. username changes are considered a basic feature offered by most modern game and social media interfaces and would be in linden labs best interest business-wise. please let us change our usernames! i know it would be a lot of work but some of us would gladly pay money for it. thank you!

Hello, i'm not very good at this, but i wanna get the username of the owner of an object, so i made this: key Owner; default { touch_start(integer total_number) { llSensor("", NULL_KEY,SCRIPTED , 3.0, PI); } sensor( integer detected ) { while(detected--) { Owner=llGetOwnerKey(llDetectedKey(detected)); llSay(0, Owner); llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(), "The owner is: "+llGetDisplayName(CarOwner)+" ("+llGetUsername(CarOwner)+")"); return; } } } and what's killing me is that with some objects from certain owners it works just fine, and i get this: [10:23] Object: 7d42438e-d9c3-4b12-a610-34dfa6f29448 [10:23] Object: The owner is: Cielo Aulder (cielo.aulder) but with others i get something like this: [10:23] Object: 0c26902e-40c3-4fbe-98ef-3d9455292f10 [10:23] Object: The owner is: () Somehow llGetDisplayName and llGetUsername is not working there... but the key on Owner is fine. And I don't understand why with certain people it works just fine.. I hope you can help me. Thanks.

Hi, I have returned to SL after an extended vacation, and i thought i could not remember my login credentials. So i requested a password reset, but it appeared that my username was changed ???? into SdrawkcabHtapohcysp. So after that was figured out, I could log in again, but everything I previously owned was gone. My account was empty and noobisch. Anyone that can explain this ? And maybe knows a fix ? Thanks.

Hi everybody! Just wondering if I can change my username . I'd like to use a different email address and a new username. I'd like to use my real name. The one I'm using is just a random name I picked when I created the account. Thank you
