It appears that if you make any alterations to your profile, you are also prompted to re-enter your password to confirm the changes. |

Hi everyone. It's good to be back - at least it will be once I have sorted this name thing out, and already, it's beginning to annoy me! Thank you for the info about no spaces and symbols. I tried Bilbo's suggestion and left out all the spaces. It seems to be happy with that, but insists I have to put in my password in order to save the new name. However, when I do that, it tells me there is already someone registered with that email and password. Well, of course there is. It's me, for crying out loud! |

Forget the community name space. |

Certainly spaces are no longer allowed, so Bilbo Baggins is out, BilboBaggins is ok. |

Nice to see you back, Tina. There was some chat that GR no longer allows spaces & symbols. If you're trying to use those then that may be the problem. |

I have been away from GR for some time and have only just returned (although I never allowed my sub to lapse). The bit in My Account where I can add a community name is new to me - I used to have to put in my "name on the boards" in the surname section. I am trying to add a community name, but it won't have it. Just keeps saying - Error, that community name is not allowed. Now, my old community name included a perfectly innocent reference to our feline friends which an overzealous filter might take exception to, but even if I take that word out, it still won't have it. |
