My Avatar name changed
Hi,
something very odd today is happening. I was trying to take a copy of something I made and it said I did not have permission. I thought"hmm, why not" and looked at the general tab and saw that I did not make it, not under my name "Karima Hoisan" but under another avatar named "Karima HoiBabii" When I looked at "the creator's profile" it was my own, but with the name Karima HoiBabii. What is happening? Please fix it as I can't do much here now.

Hi Karima,
Please try accessing Kitely with a different viewer to verify that this isn't some viewer cache related problem.

Re: My Avatar name changed
Thanks Ilan,
I could log in with Firestorm and it was my correct name now, but "cache problem" seems unlikely as I haver never used this name in my life, so how could it be in my cache? In SL and KItely I am always Karima Hoisan. I will try again in Singularity, which is my preferred viewer to create in. I will clear the Singularity cache and try again.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Actually, I tried Singularity now without clearing cache, and it was also correct in my profile. I did clear it anyway just now. This is very odd, and has never happened to me before, in any viewer. I am glad it is working again, for whatever reason.

Re: My Avatar name changed
Maybe there is a user with that name inSL with the same UUID your avatar has in Kitely. It's very unlikely but that could explain how that profile could have gotten to your viewer.

Re: My Avatar name changed
I have some info that might be relevant. If you tell Firestorm to use web profiles, it apparently looks in the SL profiles. I noted that when I searched for someone I knew I got someone of the same name who was definitely not the person I knew and the profile said:
Second Life Birthdate
June 05, 2006
I have not verified that fetching the SL info happens reliably. It happened just now, when I checked the same name again.

Re: My Avatar name changed
Actually I did do that. Looked first in Kitely and then SL. There is no one of that name. Still wondering how that could be?
