    Reported this to @Plums earlier, but creating a discussion on it to get it logged.

    See the two screenshots, using @Cat~, and note below:

    A more current example is @Jayn. She went back to Jayn, but the forum list is still showing Mrs. Claus from when she got @Roxam.

    Edit: This might be a bug, so I've raised the issue here.

    This is also happening on the conversations list, which I just updated my thread on XenForo with:

    @What?'s name is also outdated, I just didn't mark it because I didn't have a recent PC after his name change to compare it to.

    We are not currently on the latest version of Xenforo. Once I update (which is an extremely quick process, just haven't gotten around to it yet) I'll look into the issue in depth.

    Okay, this is fixed in XenForo 1.2.4. I tested it. The issue will go away when you upgrade.

    This can be locked.

    Thank you, @Misty!

    So someone on XenForo Community reported the problem happened on XenForo Community itself. However, I just had @Plums (thank you!) temporarily change my name and it updated on here and even got the outdated Maru I mentioned in the new KH-Vids thread.

    Misty, if you run Rebuild Forum Information when you get a chance, that should take care of the issue. That will probably also affect the outdated usernames on the conversations listing.

    To do a rebuild on a forum this size is going to take time. I'd suggest scheduling some downtime/maintenance to perform the operation. It shouldn't mess with things too much but it can cause lag time, double posting, etc on the site. I'm sure you already know this @Misty just thought I'd throw that out there ^^
