Invalid User Names

Open CynicalPlatapus opened this issue 1 year ago • 9 comments

Trying to add some users but it just keeps responding with the error message "Warning: Invalid name". Have tried adding several different users but only some of them are working.

I have tried it both signed in and out of my account.

Sup... Are you logged in?

I know it might seem pretty simple but I was having the same issue, turns out I just didn't login through the GUI.

I am indeed, I've tried it both logged in and out, also tried it logged into another account just in case it was an issue there.

Btw is it normal to be logged out every time the application is closed?

@MalloyDelacroix it's still happening btw, i'm trying to add this user https://www.reddit.com/user/Ok_Train_596/ but it's just bouncing back with invalid name

okay that's bizarre, i signed out of my account and it worked, but then it wouldn't work earlier for a different user while i was signed out

Almost all of these issues are caused by reddits API changes. They are doing something to app rate limits, but it is not documented and is inconsistent. That's why I have struggled with the new issues that are popping up since the changes were made.

That's a real bummer
