Cannot edit name

40 votes

I click the edit button, enter a new name and click the checkmark, but nothing happens and it goes back to the default "Ertha5066" name
----------------------

ADMIN EDIT: TO CHANGE NAME, CLICK THE CHECKMARK, DON'T HIT ENTER. AND SELECT THE WHOLE USERNAME, #1234 NUMBERS INCLUDED

This happens a lot with non-logged in players that try to change their name once in a lobby. It takes a few tries and sometimes doesn't work at all. Might be best to just create a log-in.

I noticed it wouldn't work for my family unless they took out the #xxxx. And then it would work, and add a new #xxxx.

Maybe this is just a confusing user experience? Maybe the name dialogue should just start empty, and make it obvious how many characters the player can use.

This may be because they tap "Enter" instead of clicking on the checkmark. This should be fixed.

If logged out, you can't change your name by changing the "NAME" in "NAME#1234". You have to remove the whole thing and then write "NEWNAME." Then the computer will automatically input the #1234 after NEWNAME. Not a problem for people who are logged in because they don't have to have the #1234.

I changed my username from the default, but then it switched back to the default and wouldn't let me try to change it. Please fix?

I had the same name change issue as Bernadette. I changed my name from the default, all seemed to work, I clicked on a new page and the name reverted back to the default name and won't let me change anymore without paying.

Same issue as Sally.... don't imagine it will be fixed, as they would probably rather make money than fix this.

Similar problem. I'm paying under my original username: EpicRussell, but now every time the I log i my username defaults to "Rihana5238." The biggest problem is that under this username I have none of the benefits of membership. I've looked up my original username. It's still there with my data. When I try to change to that name I'm given the message that it's already taken. It's a little frustrating.
