Do you randomly hover over a user's past usernames?

Ho-Oh

    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;
     
    I look, cuz I get confused...I'm like "who's that? 0.0 Ohhh it's them" Then I continue the conversation as if nothing ever happened.
     
    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 completely forgot we could do that.

    Um, no.
     
    Even though I knew we could do that, it's just not something I do often. I hardly ever do it actually.
     
    I forgot we can do that so no but in the future yes.
     
    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. @_@;;

    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;
     
    I do it all the time..
    Normally to keep up with changes or just because I'm interested. ;3

    There are some crazy former usernames.
     
    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
     
    to be honest, i didn't know that you could do that until now. ._.
     
    That is how I found Hopping Froggy Kisses, so I do that occasionally.
    Did that discussion make you do this thread Hakeen?
