Now possible to customize FC URL?

I've seen a few counters which have obviously a custom URL
I talk about the red part --> [server].flagcounter.com/more/["name"]/

A) Is it a new feature?
B) Just for new counters? (Not that I really wanna change my easy XSGI code)

A.2) Is this an old feature/trick nobody ever found? "Easter Egg"?

As FAQ says

When you first created your Flag Counter, we provided you a simple HTML code, with a section similar to what appears below. The part in red is your randomly assigned username

Actually, if you put the name there manually, it will create a new counter... So you can just choose any server and add anything as the name.

Re: Now possible to customize FC URL?

If your code requests a counter that doesn't exist, it creates a new one. The username can be any letters and numbers.  This is why often we hear from people who claim their counter has been "reset", but their username has slightly been changed in their code, resulting in a new counter.

The primary reason this occurs is because counters are removed if they do not log a hit in over 30 days.  If someone visits a site after a period of 30 days and the code is still there, it will create a new one instead of showing a broken link.

Oook I didn't know this... I thought only FC nicknames generated by the website would work
I'll remember next time I want a new counter ;)

Thanks and it can be closed I guess
