    I do believe it will always show it. Example, my account with my first and middle name. Login name is FredLevi. My account was reset and my username was #234234636, some odd numbers. I renamed my account to my login name, and it still has the name changed logo and the #2342336.

    I don't think it goes away.

    I seem to remember when my second account switched names my first lost the image after about a month but it could have been 2. I would say around 1-2 months.

    It's because it only goes away when the previous name becomes available. (yes! available, that means no1 has to take the old name. it only has to be available.)

    So if you had your name changed in random numbers, or only added some capitals it will never leave.


    edit: to fix this you can change your name to something diffrent, and 30 days later change it back.
