Title: why thingy?
Post by Dick on 02/09/04 at 16:40:01

What did I do to deserve this?
My Forum Profile is set up to (properly) call me 'Dick', but when I post and sign, "Dick"displays as "thingy". Only my Mom calls me that...
I'm going to sign this post "Dick", but look how it comes out.

(No) Thanks, Dick

As we can both see from my post above, this is even worse than I thought! Whenever I type my RIGHT name (Rick but with a 'd' instead of an 'r') it comes out 'thingy' .

I want an investigation!
Who knew what and when?
And I want to President of Yale to head the taskforce.
This has got to stop!

Yours truly,
Dick (that's Rick with a d)

PS.

OK, I fixed it. The forum has preset "censored words" with translations and "dick" along with other vernacular expressions for a part of the male anatomy was automatically censored and translated to "thingy". I removed it from the list of censored terms.

Sorry 'bout that! :P

Do you believe in the "thingy" atavar?
The forum is back to believing I'm a dick, not the my name is Dick. Preview doesn't mind.
How about a permanent fix?

Thanks,
Dick
