Also sorry for the double post, but I want to explain quotes to y'all.

Here is 130:
Code:
[QUOTE="lenscas, post: 1220130, member: 66192"]130?[/QUOTE]
If I change lenscas's name, he'll still get pinged. That's because the member ID is still the same. The member ID is what allowed @CoolSquid to change from @CoolSquid321 without losing all of the already attached pings and posts and whatnot.You can find the member ID by going to there profile - ex lenscas's:

Note that it's the same as the member ID in the BBcode for the quote. If I wanted to change it to quote xTordx, I'd grab the member id from his profile (132762) and put that in the member portion:
Code:
[QUOTE="lenscas, post: 1220130, member: 132762"]130?[/QUOTE]
Although it still says "by lenscas," I'm assuming that Tord got pinged for that. Right?

2 that is the same thing I assumed but as sgbros1 then claimed that he didn't get a ping I taught that maybe the forum software for some reason changed the id to match the name.

Pings sometime aren't sent. No idea why.

Nope. No ping.
