Folding Forum

Hi people.
Im back after many years.

I registered my account as Eagle. I have a passkey. I choosed a team.
I have made 6 WUs that shows in the teampage.

BUT my name shows as eagle. I tried many times to change to Eagle but it turns back to eagle.
I have loged off and on, and everything i think. There is another user "eagle" and when i click
at my eagle, his stats shows. In my client under stats it shows 0 points and 0 WUs.
And when i click "my name" the other eagle stats shows in my client.
How the heck can i change my nick?

Another thing. I choosed cancer as cause. The first WU worked cancer, but everyone after that shows as unspecified.

I thought that folding had worked out all the bugs after all the years. Im abit disappointed.

These are not bugs.
When creating a nickname, think first if you want something unique to you. How many other eagles do you think there are in FAH community? Seeing how this is a very common word, and beloved animal, you will see a lot of users using eagle (Eagle) as username.
fah stats do not care about capital letters.

Punch in "eagle" and then punch in "Eagle". Same stats.
Notice how many rows you are being shown. I count 5. That's how many users are folding under nickname "eagle" or "Eagle".
However, to change your nickname, go to top right corner icon which looks like your avatar icon. That is your account settings. First field is nickname. Change it, restart FAH (or computer), and have patience.

Cause selection is preference and not a tool to guarantee you specific projects. It has always been like that

Ok no bugs then. But a better info would be appreciated by folding.
And about my nick. To separate equal names thats what the passkey is for?
Still no WUs or score in my client. In my team it shows...
I might change to a unique name tho.

It takes time for stats to sync and update. It takes more time to update stats if user is jumping from nickname to nickname

Yea i guess.
I changed now to a unique one. Feels better.
Is it possible to change forum name?

I don't think it's possible for you to change your username on the forum by yourself. The moderators might be able to change it for you, I don't know.
