Do links/username changes get updated in article comments?
-
I wanted to change my username and my website link but neither got changed when I checked a comment on an article I posted. Does it take a little time for the updates to show? Or are you stuck with outdated information?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I still have a problem that my old username and link show in comments on a article. I know that’s as designed but I find it unacceptable. And that I was not warned when making the comment I could not edit or delete it. It’s not like it’s a blog where I can contact the owner — it’s an article. And I’m stuck with it.

We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to comment on this functionality.
