When I logged into chat from the link today I was logged in as gabbler342 and had the option to change my name! Can anybody tell me why it happened and how I can stop it happening! I could have typed in another players name and nobody would have known. I am not sure I feel comfortable with this so will only be using chat when looking for an rt unless this is resolved. Am I being a bit over sensitive about this? What do other people feel?

It seems like Gabbly launched a new registration system to reserve usernames and it broke the pre-set nickname feature. I reported the bug in their forum.
We'll be replacing gabbly in the Xmas Update. Till then, we'll have to live with it.

thanks Lack! I just feel really uncomfortable that people can pretend to be other people! It's a bit like identity theft!

And did they all have to answer questions about bugs, improvements, patches and stuff?

Not to long ago I got a PM from someone thanking me for appointing him/her as a multi hunter. I never did. It turned out to be a fake lackattack on Gabbly

I can relate ... I've had 5 of me in there and I got a few people thinking I was some porn star ... I mean, really - look at the avatar. Looking forward to the change though.

That was BGs doing FP and it had nothing to do with impersonation on Gabbly...As far as the Avatar is concerned, I'd definitely think that you were into some fetish stuff. FP = Freaky Pornstar

Are you blaming this on ME? I only asked if it was true. I am not one to spread vicious rumours (even if FP refuses to deny them) lol
GABBLY!

But seriously guys this impersonation thing is out of control, I just tried to get into the Chat and there is already a 'Boredgirl' logged into gabbly( an obvious imposter) who is providing internet sex to all the other gabbers. It's really kind of weird and truly disgusting. It's also tarnishing my angelic reputation

. I now Have people asking me for deeds which really kind of disturb me.

I guess you could always register with gabbly then you can put up and avatar so people would know it was you.

That's an excellent idea.
However:
How do I do that?

I've googled "register with gabbly", "Login Gabbly" and I've also looked at the gabbly webpage including the forum and there is no mention of creating a login, or a registration process.

There is a logon tab on gabbly's homepage. It has a little new sticker by it.

gabbly no longer works for me. I can't contribute at all. Did FP block me for all of the teasing?
