Melody Arlington Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I have searched the web and up and down the forums and the solution to this problem doesnt seem to work for me (people are told to copy/cut paste). Maybe I am missing something. So I decided to change my Display Name. Nothing too crazy. Still looks normal with a few ascii characters that are actually readable. Each and every time I try to save it, I get the message "The display name you wish to set contains invalid characters". They are not crazy characters, I have seen plenty of other people using them - they are mostly ones with accents over them. I am using viewer 2 and am not a premium member. I have no clue why this isn't working. I have tried to copy, cut, paste, create using the ascii codes directly into the display name box and nothing. Any body have any ideas? What am I missing or are unaware of? :matte-motes-confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarabi Sapphire Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Aloha, I have actually known a few people that have had similar problems with their display names. It didnt work till they changed viewers specifically. Not sure that helps but its worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hello Melody. My suggestion is to use normal default ASCII characters. The web profiles can't even show all Unicode characters you may use for display names. Alternatively delete one by one all the characters you use till to understand which is(are) not acceptable.
