    So I added my sig (by additionally clicking the tiny awkwardly placed "add sig..." link beside its image after you've uploaded one - and you'd think hitting "save" would do the trick alone but no), but apparently it no longer likes PNG files too. So the background isn't transparent like it should be, and the size is greatly restricted/shrunk... so I need to make a new sig to fit this... Gonna investigate more...
    And aside from the fact that account and profile edits are all ridiculously scattered all over the forum website like shrapnel! And no avatar individuality...thusly I am borg. I hope they consider giving us more avatar options from their "choice" selection at some point. But the whole account merging thing and purchasing thing are the real horrors in their present state. :frown: DOOM AND GLOOM! TRIBBLE FACE MELT! Naw, but seriously, this bites. I'm trying to get used to it...but not possible yet. Hoping for positive changes or clarity within the month.

    So here's the real question. Is everyone's @ handle in the game messed up now? Naturally puppet forum accounts aren't in game accounts, but many of you had your actual account name changed.

    you don't. it's a completely different account. it's won't recognize an LTS not registered to the new account. You would have to get a new LTS for that forum account.

    Oh now I think I see where I went wrong, everyone has a blue name now, it's the User Title that's special for Lifetime Subs - my bad :P

    Sorry Adrianne, but I can't read most of your signature image. It falls below the threshold of size that my eyes can resolve on this monitor. If I move it to my second monitor, a larger screen, I can read it. I will note that my eyes are quite good (I can eyeball 0.2mm deltas), but some of us are on the forums from laptop screens.

    What about my @handle? Is it gone?

    Nope. Your @handle is integral to your Cryptic account, and will always be what you use in-game. Think of it this way: instead of two names, now you have three: Account name, @handle, and forum name. Your @handle and forum name CAN be the same, but will not be automatically. Changing your forum name does NOT change your @handle, or vice versa.

    Thanks Nagus. This new system is dripping with quality. I can see how it is an improvement...

    I got lucky my forum name didn't change. For those that did... this sucks.

    Mine's the same. I'm sure for some people that's going to cause no end of insanity.

    I was able to use my old username, not sure why others had issues with this :confused: Not that it matters in my case, but Avatars is another matter.

    I'm hoping we get custom avatars back, the generic ones are just too ..generic:tongue:
