We're looking into this right now.

[Raphael van Lierop]

Please try now and see if it works.

[Dara]

User name working, gender not

[Raphael van Lierop]

Kind of too bad you changed your username, since we know you as Dara from the KS comments, but I guess we'll get used to it.

[Dara]

Its just habit, 20 years of forums have me stuck in "Must not use real name" mode lol screw it

[bagronken]

Can I have "Fox" as a gender? It would help in my journey of self-discovery

(Gender settings now working here either )

[Raphael van Lierop]

Dara -- use whatever name you want, don't let me influence you.

Personally I like forums where people use their real names. Can help keep things a little more civil.

[bagronken]

Now it seems to work! <-- EDIT: Strike that, I'm just being a fool.

(I still can't be a fox though... )

Yeah, I can't really tell if I want to or not.

I think when you get down to it, those instincts are a little unfounded. Some creeper doesn't need to find you online and then search for you in person. They can do that to literally anyone. Why start online? Except to find vulnerabilities perhaps. I dunno.

So does this work for everyone now? We've had some emails from people asking if they can change their User Name, suggesting they aren't able to, so just want to know if it's working properly now.

I changed my name successfully as well as my gender, I am now asexual...unfortunately there is a new bug to report..it didn't only take place in the forum...

You're on your own with that one.

Username, yes.

Gender, no.

When you change your gender, it seems to revert back to "Unspecified" when you leave the Edit view, since when you press "Edit profile" again -- it's back to "Unspecified"

Not really a problem, but if you intend to use the info at a later date, you might want to fix it early

Here to confirm that username change works fine as of now, but gender still won't update.

[Dara]

same here, Username yes Gender no

[Kessa]

I swear I can be civil even using my online moniker! It's practically an in-real-life nickname at this point.

Also, gender isn't working for me. I mean, I know what I am, but the forum doesn't.

[estee_aka_toriah]

Neither of the functions work for me right now. I logged out, logged back in, closed my browser and restarted it— still no go.

I'll try again later tonight after work.

[JetroKoro]

All permissions on editing profiles have been taken down for now. Raph and the guys are fixing things as we speak.

[Raphael van Lierop]

Yup, busy breaking the forums. Nothing to see here...

[Kessa]

Lol!
