Did you know that some people’s usernames don’t link to their profile but to a thread or post? Examples:
popa_bar_abba – Links to
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/lying-on-ywn
streekgeek – Links to
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/bad-mood#post-492742
Shopping613 – Links to
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/suc-grand-master-member-list
If you know of any more, and/or how and why this happens, please post!
ME! 🙂
Yes, and thanks again to the mods for allowing that.
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t happen on its own.

Back in the day when my biggest worry was my subtitle, some mod (29, I presume) linked my name to a post that I’ve written previously about how I do not want a subtitle.
To see the conversation exactly as it took place click here.
yes!! Squeak – what on EARTH is your link about (never mind your SUBTITLE…)?!?
Do the mods link the users?
It’s like a subtitle. The mods give it on a whim, or you can also request it and see if they listen.
Do the mods link the users?
Some are, others are done by users who know enough about WordPress to make the change themselves.
some usernames, like PAA, will say “user not found”
Scared driver,
Whenever there is a space in a screen name, the link to see the person’s profile page is broken. Basically, the spaces get replaced with “20%” so you need to erase all of the 20%s from the link and replace them with dashes (-).

The problem/solution has been thoroughly discussed in this thread:

Ю: and if the Mods don’t approve of what you change it to, they will remove it. I talk from experience (not there was anything wrong with my link…)
SIDI How’d u do that?
SiDi, you’re so lucky. I cry (croak) from experience.
sdd, the Mods don’t want people to play with these settings and will block me from posting the link. Sorry, wish I could!
LF, ha ha! Not all experiences are bad. So when you think of a good one, laugh croak instead of cry croaking! Now go play in the lake and splash around! Oh, how do you manage with out teeth? If must be hard to swallow those yummy snakes, bugs and snails whole!! !???? ??? ??? ?? ??????
SIDI – LOL!
Ю: and if the Mods don’t approve of what you change it to, they will remove it.
That’s only if they notice it. I once wanted to post a link that I knew wouldn’t get past moderation so I made a sock puppet account and simply changed the profile link after the post was approved. It was noticed by other users but the link is still there (from two years ago).
The only times I ever use a sock puppet is if I need to make a post that might reveal personal information about myself or if I want to mess with the mods.
Then there are all those whose pages don’t show any of their posts.

I think the explanation for those profiles is that those people have
never posted on the Coffee Room, only in the YWN news comments.
I think he’s the only one on both “Xed usernames” lists.
wish I knew what meant.
woops that was supposed to say, “wish I knew what that meant.”
This is “Linked usernames,”
and the other is “Changed usernames.”
DaasYochid no longer links to the kosher haircut.
