I can't log in with my username...

Whenever I try to log in, I write in the Username field "Anser" and it tells me that such username doesn't exist. Instead, if I write my old username (FMGBASKFH) I can log in perfectly. Why is this? Can a mod fix it? It's very annoying.

The username that logs you in is the one set in as your username. Anser is just your display name. FMGBASKFH is your username. Only Porple himself can change your username(the one you log in with).

Yeah, you could totally ask Porple to change your actually username to "Anser". I did it to change "CharizardLover" to "DragonFreak".

Your log-in name is supposed to match your username on the wiki. Your display name can be different, however.

That's a pretty bad rule imo. Currently my display name matches my wiki name. not my log-in name here.
