OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TWINSET 1793 Posted April 8, 2020 If you log in, you don't have to leave a name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted April 8, 2020 That's weird, I don't get asked for a name (tried on two accounts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted April 8, 2020 Just tried it with account with no admin leftovers too, and it didn't ask for name there either 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 Would it help if you logged in to my account? BTW I'm using Firefox on a PC WIndows 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netsmithUK 484 Posted April 8, 2020 It was just my anti spam methods being over zealous and no liking your short username. This should be fixed now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 Thank you, but I can't even log in now 😭 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 Wait, never mind. It didn't take my saved password so I entered it by hand instead. I'm logged in now. 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 Okay, tested and works as intended. Sorry for the short name! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 8, 2020 Okay don't hate me but the filter is still set to 5 characters for the direct messaging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 9, 2020 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted April 10, 2020 @netsmithUK Sorry to bother, but I'm still unable to use the messaging feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
