Help amending my user name?

Somehow my user name has gotten all twisted up with & and : and extra characters - I noticed it about a year ago and never thought much about it. The user name I created was "just"aMom - does anyone know how I can fix it? It’s come to my attention that the way the user name is now I am no longer able to be tagged or quoted.

Thanks!

Who would this poster contact?

@CCadmin_Sorin, can you help the user? Thanks!

@"just"aMom, I’ve created a ticket for the tech team to help with this issue. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks!

How odd! Your tag to the OP does not reflect her screenname. It has her original screenname but most of it is not in the link!

As an FYI, I tried copying and pasting her screwed up screenname…and got exactly what is in post 3 from you.

@CCadmin_Sorin FYI, JustaMom already exists as a username, so the OP would need to reselect

Too funny – when I used to see that convoluted screen name on a thread, I would think what is the meaning of that and why would anyone pick such a complicated screen name. I thought it was a chosen screen name.

For the record, my original user name is "Just"aMom - as in, I’m “just” a mom (it started because when my D - now 29 - was 3, someone asked her if I was her mother, and she said, “No. She’s “Just” a Mom” - it stuck - thank you @CCadmin_Sorin

It’s the special characters that is screwing you up.

Yes, it’s clearly the quotation mark that is messing up the username. The tech team is looking into the issue.

Yup the special characters I see that all the time in html

@CCadmin_Sorin

Is there ANY way for,the tech team to prohibit use of any special characters…AND spaces in screennames for this site?
