Hello,
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this change was intentional, and initiated a short while ago.

Since months ago, we stopped allowing users to create usernames using the "dash" (-) character.

Only now have we fully enforced this, by removing that "-" character also from usernames that previously contained them. (Replacing each with an "x")

[b]We recommend that you change your current username to something more unique.[/b]

I believe that most other sites, Facebook and Experience Project included, do not allow the use of this "-" character in names.

Kind regards.

@xxxxxx: We are aware of that, and have already done a lookup for all possibly conflicting usernames from this change, and addressed all conflicts already.

They haven't logged in for quite some time, and have been changed to: https://similarworlds.com/Xxxxxxxxxxxx
@Andrew: [c=#BF0080]I know of a user who has 3 different accounts with the same name.. this person's on my blocklist and I checked to see if those accounts are still there and they are. Just wanted to let you know.[/c]
