Title: Bug in Item for Change Display Name
Post by: Bertilak on August 01, 2025, 04:14:54 pm

Instructions on the item for "Change Display Name" requests insertion of a display name with at least five characters, but the forum returns an error message on an inserted display name between five and ten characters. The forum's error message requests a name of at least ten characters. What is the minimum number of characters for "Change Display Name" in the item shop? Why do the messages contradict each other?

This is all over my tech-head.

Tell me what you want, here or in a PM, and I'll change it for you, no sweat.

My plan includes a change of my username/display name to Bertilak.

The problem was the username change, of course, not the display name - what shows in your postbit.  I wouldn't use the Change Username item if I was you, and I think I best go vanish that one...

Oh - no such item, good.  I was conflating it with Change User Title, what was used on me for that &^%$#@! spam line under my handle for the next few weeks.

Wait, no - there IS a Change Username item, but at the price I set, I may never have to deal with that mistake...
