Hopefully no one has my username...
Thieves. >:I

what... how can ppl share the same username???
why did they let it happen?
i mean... its logical to not have ppl have the same username, so they can identity them fast....
I guess this should be looked into and not let ppl have the same username...
it should be changed as soon as possible...

  I changed my username (Added the stars) a while ago, and I now receive all my PM's and such. The other Kyugima account was one that FH said didn't exist yet I could see it in the members section, and I was able to use the exact same username. So if you don't get PM's, I suggest trying changing your username, just add a star or something in front of it, see if that works.

It's not the username, it's the nickname on this forum. Pm gets sent through the nicks/screen name.

If you go with something extremely normal like "Ice" or "Shadow" without any symbols or spaces you might have the same nickname as another person using this.

The user that registered first out of the 2 that use the same nickname gets the pm.

I'd suggest what kyu said and change your "screen name" just a lil, and see if your friends will be able to send you anything. First then if you still don't get anything, and know for certain that you aren't using the same screen name as anyone else. Then yarr. We might got some odd bug lying around.

But still...
there are some ppl who like their screen names...
why dont the PMs get sent to the ppl by their forum username then?
like.. when you click on someone and send a PM, you actually send it to their account... or not?
every other forum uses this method.. FH forum is really weird if you ask me. first the really annoying and yet not fixed blacklistings, and now this.

[Redlinelies]

Blacklisting is a completely different thing though and I'm well aware of that people like their screen names.

However, I think I brought the username thing some time ago, and it might would've been that it wasn't just an set "send to username" option. But I will be sure to ask raz what can be done about it and look around myself is there is any option to do this..

[bustmaca]

For now, I'll change my username slightly and see if that will fix it. But I would really like something to be done about this, whether it's a bug or not. ;_;

[JazzForLife]

I don't know if anything can be done about it. All you have to do is switch some letters/symbols in your nickname and everything will be fine.

You could say "Well, just send the PMs to the actual username."

That wont work, because not everyone's username is the same as their nickname.

Maybe not all problems are like this, but at least try and switch your nickname. :\

PM's seem to work okay now.
