Just noticed an odd little issue with Weasyl by stokerbramwell

Though I LOVE the fact that this site actually lets you change usernames (unlike some other places I could mention), it seems that doing so breaks all the usericon links to the account. For instance, my buddy malachyte malachyte went by spixpanda spixpanda up until recently, but all art tagged with the original name just goes to a dead end rather than a new account.

Any way that can be fixed? I know dA and LJ have some way of doing it.

    I noticed that a while back as well and as of yet I have no idea how else to fix that outside of manually changing the name wherever it's broken. Perhaps a question to pose to the site moderators?

    Definitely something to post on the forums: https://forums.weasyl.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?16-Site-Discussion

    I'm pretty sure that it has to be done manually. Such is the case on IB as well, for my name change, so I guess it's just A Thing. Super inconvenient, but what'cha gonna do?

    Weasyl's admins/coders would need to add support for it; it's not especially hard to do, but it's definitely not something you get automatically without coding for it.
