    I had to create a whole new account last night (which makes me look like a new member because I couldn’t post to most of the threads and I couldn’t see new posts. When I was explaining the problem to my husband, he thought that it might be the way my name was displayed which was “Willow and Windi’s mom”. It has spaces and an apostrophe. When I set up the new account, the system ran my new name together as “WillowandWindismom”. Could that be the problem? The spaces?

    And not in the ‘can no longer spawn baby problems’ meaning

    Okay, I took out all the spaces and the apostrophe…did it work. I know I can see my posting when in the thread but not out in the main page…

    KittenMaster – I think the problem is more the apostrophe than the spaces. But some of us who had trouble yesterday removed both of those things and we seem to be (knock on wood) back to normal now.

    The spaces and apostophes thing has always been there – if you want spaces, you need to change the way your user name is displayed. You go to the ‘your profile’ section, click ‘edit’ then the bit where it says ‘Want to change the way your user name is displayed? Edit this and other details by clicking here’.

    If you’re trying to log in with a version of your user name that includes spaces, apostrophes etc, it will not work, because this not your actual user name… it is simply the way you have decided to display it!

    Hope this doesn’t confuse things further!

    Huh?

    #175538

    I’ll try again 😉

    TDK user names do not have spaces or punctuation.

    BUT… you can change the way your user name is displayed.

    So… you can register as catlover44, and set your preferences so that it displays as Cat Lover 44.

    However… your user name will remain catlover44, and you can only log in with this.

    I’m not sure, KM. I have always displayed Willow and Windi’s mom but yesterday it all went wonky. So today I changed the display to WillowandWindismom and it seems to be working. My user name never did have spaces or punctuation.

    It’s all very confusing!

    Hi KM..I got it…even if GD didn’t…GD..you’re bad!

    WWM: I think we’re on the same page – it’s unlikely but I’ll check into the theory. It’s more likely that you’re OK simply because you’re using a new account.
