Don't panic, if someone had been in your files your username would probably have changed everywhere on the site.

If this is only happening in chat, it is more likely some kind of tech issue. Have you tried chat more than once & had this happen ?

If no-one posts an answer & it keeps happening you can PM administration. That would be DocJohn, kimmydawn, or Sabby.
Good luck !!!

With that, it is usually when someone gets kicked out of chat accidentally or not, and comes back in...if a persons name gets "stuck", which sometimes happens, their actual name will change on the chat, because the other name is still there...

Try it again, and see what happens...

Best,

Clyde

Right, we call them clones. my name has changed on chat rooms why Sometimes we double click without realizing it, and so two of "us" enter chat. Then it's often the actual name that drops off, leaving the "clone" with the numbers added, to chat. my name has changed on chat rooms why

It's happened to lots of us, no problem You can leave chat and reenter it and it should be fine right then. TC
