I tried to change my display name back to Mictheslik, but it now says that I can't change it to the same name as that which is my registered name for security reasons.....can't really see the security considering an account name can be discovered by holding the mouse over the name and looking at the address bar at the bottom.....

Happened to me to when I tried to change back to "celtman" :(

Is this to do with the Yabb 2.2 or has it always been like this?

That was a default setting & has now been unclicked.

Agree - I can't see any point in that ...

Good...;)..!

Since the introduction of the new Forum style, I have been afraid to log out, just in case I was unable to log back in again with my usual name and password, both on the Sim V Main Site, and the Forum!.... :'(...!

I'm still reluctant to try it!.... :o...!
