Jim,
I notice that there is another desert fox out there. This has caused some confusion already.
The article I wrote about WWII German AFV Colours has my name (Martin Wilson) as the author, but the other Desert fox is credited. It has taken me some time to notice.
I am Desert-Fox, the other is DesertFox......confusing eh?.....
When I "click" my own name on the article I am directed to the other FOX.
Can something be done? I don't want to sound like a moaner, but I'm sure the other FOX has been getting some of my PM's.
I have asked the other gentleman politely to think about changing his call-sign, is this OK or what?

Cheers,

Martin Wilson (the original Desert Fox)

Martin,
Sorry about that. I can correct it if someone else hasn't already. As to the name change, if this other person agrees to this it is a fairly easy thing to do.

Jim

Jim,
Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm sure that the confusion will correct itself in due course. If you would be good enough to re-direct the link "martin wilson" on the article to my user, I would be grateful.

Like I say I have sent a PM to the other FOX for him to look at this thread and come to his own decision.

Cheers

Martin

hm, my options seem quiet restricted...
ok, i will chage my nick just for peace-keeping reasons.
please tell me how to accomplish that. under "my account" there is'nt such an option listed.
i assume the webmaster has to change the specific table entry in the data base by hand...

There is way to change it via an administrative page. The side-effect is the cookie on your machine. If I change your callsign and you attempt to browse the site with your existing cookie you will get a security error because the cookie has your old callsign (which won't exist anymore). So the best thing to do is to log-out and then have me make the change. Then log back in when I confirm the name has been changed.

Cheers,
Jim

The above all noted. Thanks for agreeing to change your username. It is appreciated friend!
Hope this all works out.

Ok, Jim, then i will logout after this forum is done.

please chane my nick to "Foxy"
this name is unique by now and hopefully i will stay so.

:::poof::: and magically you are now "Foxy".

Hmm.... should I go into the whole American usage of "foxy"? hehe

Cheers,
Jim

i bow my head before this almighty man who used all his magic tricks to change my nick
