Hello Framework community! This is my first post, nice to meet you! 👋  
I’m brand new here and wanted to change my default username with the one that i use more frequently on the internet. But mainly i don’t like having my real name available.

I’ve read here that you can do that in the “preferences”\>“account” settings, but typing and saving the new username doesn’t seems to register it. no special letters/symbols or spaces are used.  
here is the username : **Sluzhit**

Maybe it could be that my account is less then 24hrs old?  
If someone can confirm or help me with this that that would be great !

Have a great day!

After getting the “basic” or and the “editor” badges seems to have fix it,  
i can’t really tell for sure what prevented it.

Some functions are restricted on brand-new accounts. I’m guessing that might have been one of them.
