Having technical issues on Reddit? Ask here.

I’m running into two issues with my private messages:
1) Every single message sent to me is being automatically forwarded to Drew Lewis2—the user with the same handle, just without the apostrophe.
2) For the last two weeks, anyone trying to DM me gets an error saying my inbox is full. It isn't.

Yes, it happens from time to time when certain usernames look identical except for minor punctuation or accent differences, causing the spam filters to glitch out. That notification about the inbox being full was actually directed at the other user, not you.
Reported, this is being handled.

Drew Lewis2, consider it done. But honestly, how are we supposed to prevent this exact mess from happening again if someone else picks a username without those special characters? You might want to think about switching up your handle entirely—if you decide to go that route, just hit up the username change thread.

thanks!

what kind of amateur move is this? 😁—but I'm not giving Drew Lewis2 any satisfaction

Consider this a subtle warning to everyone out there: if you’re looking to spy on someone’s messages, just strip away their diacritics. Problem solved. :G

Quick question about these posts:
Look, I can't even open any of these threads in full view. When is this actually gonna get fixed?

I don't get this. You open a single thread and half the entire forum just dumps itself on your screen?

Nah, that's not it. I'm trying to pull up my posts, but instead of showing my full history—like, my profile says I've got 325 posts total—it only shows me like 50ish... it just grabs one specific chunk instead of the whole damn list.

That just can't be right—50 is the absolute ceiling.

Then you better explain to me how the hell they used to open up in full before this whole posting glitch started happening.

It probably wasn't feasible to open the whole thing up at once—250 was really the upper limit.
Now they've scaled it all the way back down to just 50.

Can't send any new DMs or even reply to the old ones sitting in my inbox. Why though?

What exactly does "I don't have the capacity" mean in this context? I need you to be a bit more specific about what's actually happening.

I can't even send anyone a DM.
Like, I click on your profile and all I see are options to block or cancel.

There's zero way to reply in private messages either.

Give it a shot using a different browser and let's see if that actually fixes anything.

It works fine on the web, but Tapatalk is just totally dead...

Everything works perfectly fine on my end using Tapatalk, whether I'm accessing messages directly from the menu or jumping straight from someone's profile. I'm running an iPhone.
Go check out the mobile technology section and find the relevant thread within the apps—depending on your OS—to ask your question there.

Please accept my apologies for introducing a topic that deviates from the intended subject of this discussion, though I find myself in need of some guidance. I am planning to upgrade my smartphone in the coming days, yet I have realized with some dismay that I have forgotten my account password. Since my device currently handles the login process automatically, I fear I will lose access entirely once the new phone is in place. Is there perhaps a way to resolve this dilemma before it is too late?

Just click on "forgot password" and they'll shoot an email over to you with instructions on how to reset it.

I am most grateful.

This keeps popping up on my screen.
