Help, My Name Is Too Short!

Recommended Posts

Hi, I made a ticket yesterday but haven't had a response and figured I try here. I cannot leave comments or send direct messages due to my handle not being "5 characters or more". It's been like this for some time (years?) but there used to be a work-around by adding a couple characters to my name on the form. Now I see there's no no longer a place to enter my name on the form, so my work-around won't work? Help! I've been getting a some really nice comments from 'Club members and I'd really like to respond :)

Oh, right, forgot to mention this happens when I'm fully logged in. Take a look at the screenshot -- there's no box to enter my handle.

That's weird, I don't get asked for a name (tried on two accounts)

I dunno, it doesn't ask for my name either. That's the problem. I can no longer add two characters to my handle so it accepts my comment or DM.

Just tried it with account with no admin leftovers too, and it didn't ask for name there either

Please, read my response. The issue is that it's not asking for my screen name/handle. I can't add two characters to my handle like I used to. Now it doesn't work for me any longer.

Would it help if you logged in to my account?

BTW I'm using Firefox on a PC WIndows 10

It was just my anti spam methods being over zealous and no liking your short username. This should be fixed now.

Wait, never mind. It didn't take my saved password so I entered it by hand instead. I'm logged in now. 👍

Hi again. I'm fully able to leave showroom comments now, but the filter for direct messaging members is still bouncing my screen name. Could someone please toggle the thinger that hates short names? Thanks :)

@netsmithUK Sorry to bother, but I'm still unable to use the messaging feature.
