I'm having profile issues here.  I'm hesitant to spam everyone with them, but I think they might interest other folks here.  Some of you may want to go into your profiles and make corrections.

I tried going to the "help" area for this, where I found the contact email addy to be problems@salon.com.  When I emailed that address it bounced.  So I don't seem to have any technical recourse.

I noticed that my display name was messed up: where it should have said "PaDeitschGrrl", which I had set as my first name, it was saying "PaDeitschGrrl padeitschgirl", appending my username to it.  Ok, random computer glitch.  I went into my user info to see if I could fix it.

Not only had my "Last Name" field been changed to show my username, but my zip code field had been changed to show my PASSWORD.  I, of course, repaired this and changed my password.  I also corrected my first and last name. 

Since the last name field was now marked as required, I split my display name into "PaDeitsch" in the first name field and "Grrl" in the last name. 

Now my name shows up that way in the user info, but does not display that way on screen.  It still says "PaDeitshGrrl padeitschgirl", despite the fact that I deleted those names.

Color me frustrated.
