Are we not allowed to change our screen name now? Because I tried changing my name and not any other information I got the message :
"Private-Email Address Already Taken
That private email address has been registered by another user. Go back and enter a different address."

No, it won't let me change my name, either. No message, just "database update failed".

This was similar to the problem on sandbox, I believe.

it looks like ANY change to settings is failing at the mo. from what i call changing screen name (i.e. the bit right after the -- in the sig) shouldn't have any impact on the whole e-mail address shenanigans

Hmm. I can turn show images on and off and fuck about with various other settings. Can I change my name?

It let me do that too. Weird.

i think it might be about where you access setting from -- ilx or sub-boards.

If I try to change my name, it says "Name lookup failed"

Is this still not working?

― stet (stet), Friday, 5 January 2007 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Yup, still can't change anything. :-(

Couldn't change mine today, either

Hmm, I changed my screen name no problem.

Hmmm. If anyone who has this problem doesn't mind giving me their password for a bit, please drop me a line. I can't replicate it here at all, and there's nothing obvious in the db that says why it shouldn't work for you.

Is it because I'm using wh3rd? Should I log out and log back in? I can't even remember what my password is... :-(

― Do Not Feed The Crush (kate), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 10:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope, didn't work.

Yes, I am testy, why do you ask?

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Should be fixed.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Dirk does, yes. I always wanted to do that hypnotism thing on a friend to make them jump into a river. (I am cruel.)
