Display name change worked, then failed due to computer crash a minute after?

[Brook3nAng3l]

Hi, I wanted to change my Display name from Brook3nang3l to  Ϯ βɾ𝖮𝖮қē 𝚍ߴἩē𝙲𝚊𝓽ē Ϯ and it succeeded, well at first. I saw the confirmation that my name was changed (in the lower part of my screen to the left), but within a minute after the name change my computer crashed and I had to reboot it.

Now when I login again, my name is only the first 3 characters of my intended name (Ϯ βɾ) and not what I typed and got the "on-screen confirmation" for.

What to do??? wait a week or can I file a ticket somewhere of some kind (I couldn't find that online).

 

Help!

I'm kind of surprised that the system accepted the name with all those weird characters (or maybe it only accepted the first few?).  If there doesn't seem to be an appropriate category for your particular concern when you submit a support case (https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/), all you can do is pick the one that seems closest and let them figure it out.

Hello Rolig, if you want to change your name on @secondlife.com it will not accept it, but inside SL you can change your Display Name with special characters. It worked before. I will take a look at that link you sent me, thanks!

That displayname contains invalid characters. (tried it in one of my alts.)

Before reboot..

You got lucky.  Most odd characters are not acceptable.  As Nick just demonstrated, for example, yours aren't.

And you never know which characters are invalid until after you try them and they're ultimately rejected.  It's basically hit or miss.

Wow, i didnt know that... i wonder why they accepted the name in the first place then..strange..hmm ok. Thanks for all your help!!
