    As you know, we all have the ability to change our username every 10 days. The problem is, I could be looking at someone's profile one day, the next they change their username and I don't know how to find them. I think it should be set up so their previously known username can still link you to their profile. It gets very annoying when I type in someone's name and it takes me to someone who has never been active before, or an invalid username or something.

    Just a simple idea that should be implemented.

    The only problem with that is when someone changes their name, their previous username becomes available immediately, so we can't make their old username link to their new one.

    You can find people by googling their previous usernames since google caches a lot of pages.

    I don't really mind that much, and I wouldn't consider it as 'stalking' them (lol Belz) but the ideas you two have suggested should do.
