Hi Folks, have noticed that my name appears correctly in the portfolio but when I post it is cutting off the last few letters of my name. Can anyone let me know how I can fix it? It lists my name as Brookh and it is Brookhart. Thanks in advance.

Christopher, the name display might be set for a maximum of 18 characters which includes the space between first and last. At least that is the number I get out of what you're actually seeing of your name.
My name has 14 characters including the space and seems to make it as far as I can recall. A thought if not totally objectionable would be to show only Chris as a first name or an abbreviation of sorts on the first name so it is brought down to 14 or less characters total between the two names.
It might be worth at least an experimental try. If not notify Jim as it would probably require some kind of update to change or increase the number of characters allowed......just some thoughts on the issue. :cool:

Thanks Paul,
That is what I thought originally, just don't know how to change it. Anyone know?

Hello Christopher,
Go to the top of the page on the green bar the starts with "Preferences". When you click on it, it should bring up your personal information that you should be able to edit it there.
