    Why does my name says "Sweetiz102" when I click into a forum, like in equipment & avatars. If you click into that you will see my name as that as author instead of my real name. 

    Why would you take my sweet name away? :(

    hi,

    that's a good question. i suspect it's forum's automatic conversion and nothing specific that we did on our end.

    Your WGT unique ID is limited to 10 digits so if there are several players whose names start with the same first 10 digits "Sweetiepie...." the last few letters get randomised to make sure each ID is different.

    When you start a thread (and on the URL on your profile page) WGT use your unique ID instead of your full name

    Aha now I get it, thank you :) Was so surprised at first because I didnt thought they were mine (they were pending something). But now I'll look for that instead.
