    For some reason my profile name and my profile picture arent changing when I try to change my profile picture it ends up staying, if I try to delete it then upload my custom one under 50KB it returns from the dead (wtf :D) and the profile name isnt changing to my steam name :d

    isnt there any other way of changing the name ? even starting a new profile.. I really dont get the point I used it fun and now my steam account has a serious name, and I cant update it, its most likely a bug since when I delete or change it this current image shows up, I tried over 50 times

    It's intended. You cannot change the name here in the forum. Prevents people from changing the name to mods or admins, to "report admin" , etc...
    Please use the search feature and you will find more reasons for why we don't change forum names.
    Thanks!

    Your steam level has no bearing here - SteamRep has no affiliation with Valve.

    You should be able to change your profile picture (name is permanent, sorry) from your user settings page. If you can't, then upload it here along with a screenshot of whatever error you're getting and I'll take a look.

    Did I say "Oh I am level 61 Oh my name should be changed I just said ok thats fine its just a shame" like Jesus you commented saying that I only attached a picture of chat instead of clicking on the gyazo link


    The error is basically, when I click on the avatar I get this window to change it, I upload the file it says successfully changed, it didnt change I click on my avatar again and click delete image and then click ok and refresh then click on the default avatar in order to change it I upload my own profile picture and it uploads the Skull one instead of the one I want to upload

    Interesting, I was unable to change my own avatar. Maybe something up with the forums or Cloudflare. Could also be that I'm on mobile though... I have let the appropriate person know to take a look at this thread.

    Looks like the issue is related to caching. Just upload the avatar you want to use, and give it a few hours to take effect. Make sure you save changes. If it still doesn't work, you can upload it to this thread as an attachment and I'll upload it on your behalf if I get the time (busy this weekend) but it will still be delayed by the same cache.
