What happened to my Display Name?

deefstes

A while back I changed my display name from deefstes to Dewald "deefstes" Swanepoel and it's been like that for a while now. These days though I see that my display name is simply Dewald Swanepoel and I can't seem to change it in my profile settings anymore. Is there something I'm missing?

The quotation marks are causing problems with the PM system. We've blocked them from being used during registration and user names can now only be changed by an admin (myself or Norio). You can put an AKA in your sig or in your "personal text".

I'm busy searching out other members with quotation marks and changing them too.

Alright, no problem. But could you change my display name back to "deefstes" please? I'll put the AKA in my sig line.
