Question about the name change. [View all]

I saw where EarlG said the sig line would indicate the change of name for 30 days, which is helpful. But how about on the profile? Does anyone know? I don’t know very many people here by name, but some I do know seem to have disappeared. Recently, I saw a profile where the poster no longer had the sig line, but the profile had the ‘this is the poster formerly known as’ thing.

Will that stay on indefinitely? Does anyone know?
