У вас же уже новогоднее настроение?
А у нас традиционные подарки!
Смена хэндла
В Новый год мечты сбываются: вы можете сменить хэндл до 10-го января!
Открыта традиционная новогодняя акция. Спешите! Только до 10-го января вы можете изменить свой хэндл абсолютно безвозмездно, то есть даром! Сменить хэндл можно лишь единожды. Обратите внимание, что откатить изменения или изменить хэндл еще раз вы сможете только через год. Будьте внимательны и осторожны со своими желаниями! :) Хэндл можно сменить либо на совсем новый (ранее никем никогда не используемый), либо на тот, который у вас был когда-то ранее. Кстати, ссылки на ваш профиль с прошлым хэндлом работать не перестанут — будет автоматический редирект со старого хэндла на новый. У нас все ходы записаны!
Как и в прошлом году — если вы приняли участие в 10 или более раундах, то можете забрать хэндл у неактивного пользователя. Если пользователь заходил на сайт в отрезок времени не более 6 месяцев, это всё было до 2016-го года, поучаствовал не более чем в одном контесте, не написал комментариев, личных сообщений и еще пара похожих требований, то у него можно изъять хэндл. У него хэндл будет автоматически сменен на похожий, ему отослано письмо с информацией. У пользователя остаётся возможность запросить обратно свой хэндл — в таком случае мы откатим изменение и вернём вам ваш прежний хэндл. Если у вас не получается сменить хэндл, значит какое-то из условий не выполняется. Пожалуйста, не просите меня что-то предпринять. Я не Дед Мороз.
Для смены хэндла нажимайте в профиле "Настройки", затем "Хэндл", а потом внимательно читайте всё то, что написано.
Касательно необдуманных хэндлов я всегда вспоминаю такую историю. Мне как-то написал пользователь с просьбой: "Прошу сменить мой хэндл с I_love_Valya на I_love_Sveta, так как Валю я больше не люблю..."
Новогодний маскарад цветов и званий
В настройках профиля появился традиционный волшебный раздел. С Новым годом!
It looks so good on my name :)
Looks like the favicon is finally transparent, thank you Mike!
Now just increase the resolution and everything will be perfect.
Почему так рано??? раньше же 29ого делали или позже.
PS. отказываюсь менять хэндл до 29 декабря
Майк: "Вы подтверждаете, что Дед Мороз существует?"
Я: "Хмм, Да!)"
Legendary grandmaster easy easy :))
Happy New Year Everyone <3
It's raining LGM's. LOL
orz orz
MikeMirzayanov, now Codeforces fails to show LGMs in posts correctly.
Есть идея разрешить менять регистр в нике, потому что все равно такие ники считаются одинаковыми.
это давно разрешено
Имеется в виду, чтобы при этом не тратилась попытка, и чтобы после того, как ник уже поменяли, можно было сменить регистр.
полагаю, что при смене хэндла (даже если только регистра букв) в бд кфа происходит некоторое количество перезаписей, поэтому такую возможность не стоит делать безлимитной
I am not Santa-ClausWhaaat? O_O T_T
You can't change your handle to "I_love_Sveta" because there is another user who loves Sveta too...
Handle "rating" is free! take it!
Name is power
I am a legend now ..... but how does jqdai0815 changed his rating .... currently ranked 2nd ,i wanna be 1st;
No one has changed the ratings.
The second spot guy has just changed his handle name.
PS- I don't remember his old handle name.
jqdai0815
You can PM tourist and ask him for the password.
I asked the second guy, got his account and changed his handle.
i already messaged tourist ,but till now got no reply... Wish me good luck for that.
I know his password — it's sha256 of the P != NP proof
so who is the real owner of the account!?
Only way to be a GM
No
For normal people like me.
I wish if you give us a chance to deactivate our account ... My reason: This moments i realized i cannot achieve any thing in competitive programming 5 years of training on codeforces and i am still purple And more than 40 rounds I feel shame about my profile
Cmon this is Christmas time. This is the time where you make new challenges. Who knows what you might become what you wanted this year. All the hard work you have done is never wasted. Merry Christmas :)
thanks. But it is over... I have given up for ever Good bye codeforces
It's OK to be frustrated. It is also OK to criticise one's own self BUT It is definitely not OK to look down upon one's own self. :( Times change and so do the conditions. Be positive and welcome the new year with high self esteem. Cheers :)
Whenever i go to the registrations page for a contest i still see my old id is this some kind of bug?
it takes time to be changed
problem of being faster than the speed of light is...you live in darkness you gotta face that
Where is "Happy New Year" instead of "Accepted"?
As I see it there is happy new year instead of accepted
help plz I always use my gmail to login but now i want to change my handle it wants password but i never entered password while login. plz help
Try to reset password
How can people who signed up for codeforces using gmail account do this? Because its asking me for a password to change the handle but I never set a password
logout and use Forgot your password with your handle :)
why cant we change our color to unrated ones... btw ,today i am feeling very proud ,just want to comment everywhere as now i am legendary grandmaster ,which was impossible without this magic week .
How are you guys changing colors, I don't get it
Damn! These are some of the coolest features. Thank you Codeforces for such gifts :)
What does it mean by roll back to previous handle?...Does that mean there will be an additional option to roll back or I can just change my username to previous one by simply typing
According to the CF Gifts, you can change your handle before 10th January. Once you have changed your handle, you cannot get your old handle and the new handle will be in use for a year ( until next Christmas ).
So, Change wisely, or don't do!
Can I get my old username next year?
Nope. Once you have used any username, all usernames you made will redirect you to your updated username.
And any username registered into the DB of CF is an irreversible process.
It's actually wrong, you can get your old handle back.
Thanks for the gift. Feelings better to see red for me <3
the only way tourist can become newbie
How to request for the handle name of an inactive user? There is an inactive user I want the handle name of, but when I type in the handle name, it says "This handle is currently in use ."
if you took part in at least 10 rounds you can request a handle of an inactive participant. It means that the participant should have a period of activity on Codeforces of at most 180 days, this period should be in 2016 or earlier. The inactive participant can't have posted comments, messages and so on. It can't take part in more than 2 contests.Is it possible to give an option to users to disable New Year Color Magic for their point of view? I don't want to see other users change their colors since it makes both competing and reading blogs and comments much more confusing.
that's ratist...
I like the Black color of Headquarters :/
how can i request someones old handle?
https://codeforces.com/profile/TopGun the following user was active 5 years ago, Can I get this handle?
I've changed my handle with someones who created his account but never participated in any contest, Last login was 8 years ago.
WOW, Now just my name ismail <3
wow you got really lucky..
Legendary Grandmasters everywhere XD
tourist please become newbie...
ये बात टूरिस्ट तक पहुंचाई जाए santa claus
MikeMirzayanov Thanks for this gift , I changed my handle yesterday but the previous one still appear on standings
very cool
Happy new year to everyone!!
Just thought I needed to ponder over my handle after I changed it in a "rush action"... But then the brighter side, I have one year to think carefully about my handle now.
When does the ranking colours get reverted back??
Around Jan 10
My login to codeforces is through my google account. How do I change my handle? When I try to enter my password, it rejects it for Wrong Password.
I don't link my new handle, can I roll back to my previous one?
Please wait One Year :(
Does anyone know when colors will revert back to normal?
will I be removed from friend list of others if I change my handle? just curious :)
No
deleted
Yes you can.
Can you please tell me the steps required to change the handle ?
To change your handle, click on "Settings" in your profile, then "Handle", and then read everything that's written down. But now the changing accounts didn't start!
Okay. When it will start?
Sorry, but I don't know!!!
Okay
Still waiting for New Year Magic 2021
2020 is the year of uncertainties, there are high chances that there won't be any New Year Magic just kidding xD. I too am eagerly waiting for new year gifts.
Eagerly waiting for 2021 gift
How to change handle?
https://codeforces.com/settings/handle
When I open this profile it redirects me to some other profile. I tried to change my handle to that username but it says 'it has been used before by other participant'. Does anyone know why?
If a handle have been previously taken, you will not be able to take it. It seems like even if you enter previous handles of an account, it will still redirect you to the current profile page.
