Description Marcel J. P. Möhring 2003-12-18 15:32:26 UTC
Hi, I tried to change my username for forums.genoo.org.

Although the message is shown that my my profile has been updated, my username does not change. If I log out the old user and try to log in with the new username, I get:
"You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.".
Also my new username is not recognized when trying to get my password send to me.

Maybe the db needs some time to actually change the name.
If this is the "problem", it should be covered in
http://forums.gentoo.org/faq.php
(IMHO)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. register and confirm a user on forums.gentoo.org
2. try to change username

Actual Results:  
username was not changed, also not after re-login, old user still exists and can
be logged in with

Expected Results:  
username should be changed, at least at next login, old username should be set free
