Is there a way to use both my own Forum Nick as well as Randomized GSA-SER default?
As I understand, the checkbox makes the field data get ignored. Is this correct?
If so, I would guess I have to uncheck the box, then add my Nick(s) on the field and have something like, either in the data field or in a file referenced in the data field:
{Nick|Nick2|#gennick[XYZ,5,10]}
What I am wondering, are the above numbers the exact settings that GSA-SER uses for it's default randomize function when the checkbox is checked?
I am trying to have it be precisely the same as it is when I use the checkbox, because I am sure I am not quite as knowledgeable as Sven about what is generally the best setting for this field.

#gennick[XYZ,<min length>,<max length>]
This macro generates a random nick name with a character length between min length and max length. The first parameter is ignored for now. Just put anything you want for it.
Example: Hello #gennick[XYZ,5,10] Output: Hello DevinSan
In the example above the macro created a nickname with a length of 8 characters and inserted it in the text.

Just to be sure, that means when I have the randomize checkbox checked, GSA-SER is going to automatically use #gennick internally, and the program will change the parameters for #gennick, based on what each engine at the moment calls for?
So then it's really best to leave it the randomize checkbox checked?
Will your program also "fix" a nick name that, let's say, I have as one of a selection in the data field?
For example, if I have {Joe|Mary|}{Smith|Kim} and GSA-SER chooses one of my spintax choices that are too many characters, or contain a numeral, and numerals are not allowed, does it automatically truncate/fix the username?
Thanks, as always!
