Question about the forum


Makinen

Recommended Posts

So i've been here for a couple of days (and posts), but i can't seem to find when the option to edit my profile gets unlocked.

Is there a minimum post count requirement to unlock certain functions such as changing your avatar, or is something else messing up?

Sorry, there is a problem

You are not allowed to edit this profile

Error code: 2C138/3

I am sure that this feature isn't unlocked with a number of posts or reputation because i also can't edit my forum profile.

Maybe moderators can edit their and other forum member profiles but i am not a mod to know about this.

Your forum avatar is tied to your in-game avatar. You have to change it to one of those other options if you'd like a different one (no custom avatars).

Wait, so that'd be the one on the site here, right? because the only reason i have it is to post on the forum...

Okay, so i just changed it to something else on there, should take a bit to show up first, right?

I have a different avatar on Nutaku, but since that one's from another game there (i don't know which one) i suppose it can't be helped.

I have a similar problem, not regarding the avatar but the nickname displayed. When I got the possibility few months ago, i used the free ingame name-change option, but the nickname in the forum remained the same, and when I tried to edit the profile in the forum I obtain the same error message as Makinen. I sent a error report using the relative button under the error message, but up to now some weeks have passed already and I didn't receive an answer. I already tried to use incognito mode and clearing the browser data and cookies. Any ideas?

I will try when I'll have the time, although I must admit I am not exactly trusting, having already described the situation (plus other problem I have with the forum) in even greater detail in the aforementioned error report without a trace of an answer.

I am starting to fear that the fault is in the public wifi I am bound to use, which constrains me to use a browser VPN proxy extension to access the forum, as otherwise the forum get censored not being under HTTPS.

Is the new in-game name already taken on the forum? Unlike the game engine, AFAIK the Invision board software doesn't permit multiple identical names.

Edit: Actually, strike the "AFAIK". I just remembered that the whole reason I'm _shal_ rather than simply shal here is that the forum blocked my account creation originally due to the name duplication. I'd imagine an attempt to change an existing account name to an invalid new choice would simply get quietly ignored by the forum engine.

If I remember correctly, in my case was the game account creation that got that problem, not allowing me to use my usual nickname, so I used the alternative one. When the devs gave the possibility to change the in-game name some time ago, I switched to my main nickname, but later (in truth, much time later) i noticed that the forum name was still the alternative nickname. I don't have the faintest idea if it has any importance, but having subscribed while my vpn proxy were active got me designed as American, while in truth I am not.
