Title: The New User Panel Features | What They Do
Post by: Whisperingwaves on January 08, 2017, 03:41:13 am
With the site update came some new features in the 'User Panel'. These features are probably something you may have suggested yourself and are finally here for use!

Of course, we start by logging into the panel via the main FH page:

And logging in:

Not sure how to use these new features? Below is an explanation of what each function does.

Username Change
The username change does exactly what it says; changes your forum and in-game username! This will be the new username you use to sign into the Play Game page, forum, and user panel once changed!
It looks like this:

Ensure that your new username is 15 characters or below to avoid login troubles. If the username is taken, this should tell you to choose a new one, haven't tried that out for myself.

Email Change
This changes the email attached to your account to push further notifications to there instead of an old email. Per say you lost the login to your old email, don't fret! Change it with this tool.
Looks like this:

Delete Account
Be warned! This deletes both your in-game account and your forum account, meaning, you'll loose that account completely. You should now be able to remove your account without difficulty.

And of course, you have the account reset and your character home reset functions still in the user panel. If you're looking for a tutorial on those, please check this thread out: here (http://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=59461.msg816350#msg816350)

Hopefully this either alerted you of what's new on the User Panel or explained them a bit better. Have fun guys, and don't forget to thank Raz and the staffers!~

This is nice, although I do think that if some of this was already in the descriptions that it could help prevent misunderstanding what they are for. I really think the whole 15 max characters thing should be there, someone might not know or think to look here first. =s

There is a note underneath the Username Change in this post to warn against it, I feel it should have probably been added to the block in the panel, but, at least the change is available now.

As to the others, glad it could help <3 Hope y'all enjoy changing your usernames and such!

Thank you so much for making this! :D Though I overlooked this multiple times, I finally found it. They should make the update public, but I understand why they wouldn't. Unless they did and I'm blind. R.I.P.

I kept noticing random new usernames pop up on my friends list that I swore I never added and I grew a little concerned as it continued. I figured it was a glitch, someone was hacking me, etc. Now that I know, I'm very much relieved.
