My avatar cannot be changed, linked to SS Hank?

H

Hank.

Guest
On most forums that I frequent the username "Hank" is taken. Therefore, I typically choose "Hank." as my username. It seems to be messing with the database when I try to upload a custom avatar. When I choose a custom avatar and click "Save", the avatar for the user "Hank" comes up. My custom avatar is 100x100 and 7KB in size (much smaller than the max allowed).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just looking to see if I need to change my username to something without the "." ?

You can not change your user name. Probably the "." is the problem. Other members that use punctuation marks have issues also.


When I look at your profile, the system does not recognize you, I get a member named Hank, instead.

Also, drop the links in your sigline, they are not allowed. If your not an MV related vendor, we dont allow/want bussiness links.


I can delete your account and you can sign up with a new normal user name. Or, you can contact Mangus580 , explain your issue, and wait(along time) for him to help you.

Go ahead and delete the account then. I figured that would have to happen.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I can't post an avatar either. I found out that its because of another member who has an account with the name g force. He has never posted on here and the fix for my account is to delete his. Can you delete his account also Doghead???
Its kind of frustrating

Yes I can, but I think Clinto was working on your issue. I'll check with him, before I do.
