For the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying to add my pronouns to my display name, so that it appears as “YourHeroes4Ghosts (she/her)”. I’ve changed it in settings and saved, many times, but it doesn’t appear to be changing on my posts and comments. Is this because of a character limit, or is there some other issue?

Pretty sure the current limit is 20 characters. I hit that wall as well when I tried setting my wanted display name.

What interface are you using to change it? I discovered when editing mine that changes made in an app didn’t stick (I tried both Jerboa and Connect) but changes made in the browser did (so maybe Voyager/wefwef would have worked, but I didn’t try that). I don’t know why it works that way or if that’s a bug that needs reported.

I’m using Firefox to access on my PC, which makes it even more confusing.
