When you scroll over a user's current username, their past usernames appear (well, the ones changed after it began recording the usernames there too.) Do you actually do that often, even for users that you see all the time/are actually friends with? Do you even know you can see past usernames there? Do you even care?

... Yeah, I find myself randomly doing the former often. XD;

Unless it is some guy with an extraordinary name who joined a few years ago... XD
Yes, I will if they get my attention, but it is quite random. :P

...Wait. I thought it is called hover? o_O

...sigh. XD Changed part of the title to "hover".

Anyway, yes, I do tend to hover over peoples' usernames, a lot of people get name changes and 90% of the time I can't identify them by that alias.

I do that often. Seriously, people keep changing their names here faster than race cars, to put it in a more nicer term. XD

When I first started this account, I did it all the time to users that have 2004-2005 as their join date in the efforts of finding some familiar faces from back when I had my old account.

Not so much anymore unless I see a name I don't recognize and their join date was more than a year ago. :P

I do it a lot because I can't keep up with name changes. Sometimes I'll go "wow, I really miss ____" and then spot a new member with a bunch of posts and hover over their name to see if it's actually an older member... only to realize it's the original person after like 3 name changes. @[email protected];;

So I use that feature a lot. I wish it were everywhere when you hovered over their name and not just in the postbit. XD;

Always. Mainly because I usually remember the first name I knew someone for, and name changes these days are amazingly strange/ingenious/different from the previous ones.

..I also do it in Zuzu/Yuyuko's alts, hoping to see her main account's name there for some reason XD;

All the time.

I always seem to find myself in a situation where I'll find a really funny or amazing post and the author's username just draws a complete blank. Half the time I'm certain that I know the user, but I forget exactly who they are. The neat, little hover feature helps me recall just who I'm lookin' at. I have the memory capacity of a guppie when it comes to names. BD

I blame ya'll for changing your username so many gosh-darn times. :I

I still remember the feature and yes, I do it very often at that. So many members today are getting name changes that it is hard to keep up with at times. So, when I see some new names that I am not really familiar with, I hover over the username hoping to identify if I knew the person's original or past name before it. Sometimes I do it randomly, especially to those who have joined years before me, but mostly it is just so I don't get lost on who is who.

I didn't know you could do that xD

Though I am doing it now because I just found out about it, I probably will stop eventually and forget about it.

Always; because I really don't know why I do. When I see a post from someone familiar with an unfamiliar username, I hover instantly and see if it's said member with a change, or an entirely random stranger.
