A member is impersonating me , by using my profile picture and name

Sort:
Woollensck3
When go to this person’s profile , in an attempt to block him , and touch on the word “ more “ theirs nothing,absolutely nothing showing ! ….that will allow me to block him . I have however after many attempts, managed to report him . I think it’s very strange that I was unable to block this member , usually by touching on the word “ more “ it shows up ! ……it’s just frustrating, and annoying, and quite frankly I don’t understand why I was unable to lock this member ! …..something very fishy going on here .

Which account are you talking about?

If you don't want to be accused of naming and shaming, you could at least give us some hint as to what you are talking about.

I thought it wouldn't be the exact same name and I don't see how it can be.

It's not the exact same name. It's using capital letters to make it look the same.

Like @martin_stahI

I guess we'll have to play "To Tell the Truth":

When I click on a member's name in a thread post to get the "More" button, clicking on this "More" button causes the "More" menu to disappear. This happens to me for any member I try this on. Obviously, this is a recent bug that some programmer introduced.

If I go to a member's profile, everything works OK.

And, no, I won't report the bug. It's not my job to perform worthless tasks. ;-)

That has been reported.

You could always display the handle as all lowercase for an easy fix

The op, in a previous account, was fooled as well.

Yes, all names could be presented in all lower case. Though my guess is that won't happen as people wanted to have that personalization beyond the the name choice.
