Probably the wrong place to ask this, but my settings page won't save/update when I make changes to it. (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm unable to update my display name or change my theme. The matrix room link also seems to be dead. Not sure the best way to contact an admin. Thanks!

Are you clicking the Save button at the very bottom of the section where you change your display name?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. If I only change the display name it will very briefly look like it's doing some kind of backend update, then the field will get cleared back to nothing. If I also change the theme and update the display name, the name it will persist after the "save" process and the theme will appear to applied, but all changes are lost if I refresh or navigate to a different page. The display name is never applied to any posts and never changes in the account actions menu in the upper-right.

Changing theme seems to work on my end, I'm on desktop. I would suggest trying a different device otherwise maybe @[email protected] might be able to help.

Okay, It looks like my preferred display name was just too long. I was trying to set it to "InterContinental Ballistic Marxist" and it kept failing without any error notification. Is it possible to increase the max alias length on the server to accommodate that, or is it hard-coded?
