Name Change

[thelastpaige Resident]

I just recently changed my display name and apparently the font isn't compatible so it reset the display name to my username. Now I have to wait another week just to fix it.

Is there a way to get a new display name or am I going to have to wait a week? 

Thank you!

You could contact LL support & ask for your display name to be reset.  I don't know if they will do that or make you wait a week though.

You can always reset your display name without waiting by pressing the Reset button on the name change dialog:

Note, this will not reset the waiting time by 1 week, but it will change your display name back to thelastpaige

A good rule of the thumb is to avoid putting unicodes in your name unless it is a alphanumeric system of a different language, as not all computers will render the unicodes you see, and if it is mostly unicode/unreadable, users will resort to using your username instead of your display name, as they are not easy to type.
