Just use an empty BIO-link, like so: . You'll get the current name of the user and everything. It's h2g2astic! Or something. 
Btw, I hear they advise against using H2G2-links for anything else than linking to Entries.

Cheers
*mutters*
You get one name wrong and you have to redo 108 links.

But you must admit that it's kind of impressive that your page keeps track of all the users DESPITE name changes! Wow.

My page is THE coolest now. Cheers ioath
(I bet you just wanted everyone to know you're a haijin)

It was cool before, but now it's definitely the coolest. Although those birthday calendar pages use empty BIO-links too...
And yes, you caught me, I wanted everyone to know I'm a haijin. 
It's not a very cool title, but it's Japanese and I love Japanese.
Btw, who's "ioath"?!

ioath is someone (not you) who gave me a different tip and I was thanking him to give him recognition that he also helped me, but he was too shy to say so.
Thankyou ioath and iaoth. You have both been very helpful.

Oh, HIM! Ok. I'm sure I speak for him as well when I say you're welcome.

Was that the split personality smiley? He's happy one side and sad the other.

What smiley? This one: ? That's the laughing smiley, although it does look a bit strange. It's supposed to be holding its belly, having a really good laugh at something. I don't think there's a split personality smiley, unfortunately.

I have a poster with lots of faces on and the split personality one has a smile coming from one side of his face and the other side has a frown. Just like this one.
I see your name has changed (does that mean you don't do haikus anymore, or that they take 2nd place to squeekish?). However, with my superfast supercool page the details were changed as soon as you did it!
Thanks again.

That's strange. I still can't see how can look like a frown + smile smiley, when it's obviously going "ho ho ho" (that's the mouth, shaped like an O, with two tiny dots above it for eyes). Kinda like Santa.
My name change is intented to draw attention to the University of Mice, which is a nice little Uni that gives away honorary titles. Lots of them, if only people would ask for titles. I'm trying to get things started. Maybe you'd like to be Professor of Whackywheelsology? Or perhaps Dastardology? You decide!
Rest assured that I still do haikus, since my Professorship is not very stressful. Actually, it's no work at all, more or less...
And you're welcome. Thanks to you too for these cool pages.

He is not laughing.
It's quite simple.
Those 2 things at the top are his eyes. Then underneath that is his nose(not his mouth). Then, looming in from one side of his face seems to be a smile. The other side has a mouth with a definite downturn to it.
So one side of his face is hapy the other side is not, so he has a split personality and he is not a laughing smiley he is a split personality smiley.
I didn't read your name properly. Upon re-examination it seems that you kept the word haijin after all.
I think I have enough titles for now, but if I think of something I'd like to be professor of then I will drop by.

Ok, I can sort of see what you mean, but I'm having a hard time imagining that the mouth is really a nose...
Stop by the UoM any time, it's easily accessible from my space.
