Problems with 10 users...

[pezzin0]

Hi all,
it's a pleasure to be here in the dev forum of BGA. I am going through all the dev docs and I just tested the 10 automatically-created accounts.
None of them works though.
At first, I actually renamed my first account (pezzin0) by removing the trailing 0 --> pezzin
All the others should still exist (pezzin1, pezzin2, ...). How do reset the password for them as well?
Thanks.

you don't.

you only need login as the main account (no number on the end).

For your game, use 'Express Start' and then click on the '>' next to the player name to open up a new tab and play as different players.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I think I made a mess with my "pezzin0" account. When I click on Express start I get this red error message:

Unexpected error: Not enough available free test users associated to this account (reference: GS0 18/01 17:50:10)

What can I do?

you need to login as pezzin (no number), not pezzin0.

That's what I am doing... unfortunately I've renamed my initial user removing the trailing 0:

In my recent activity you can see:

pezzin0 is now known as pezzin.

If this can help, you can check this page where you see an additional error message:

https://studio.boardgamearena.com/player?name=pezzin0

Would it be possible to fix my username back to its original state?

Thanks.

I am trying to fix the issue myself, and I tested this:
- cannot rename the user back with the 0 at the end (I know, you could only rename the account username once but there was no warning at all in that page that this task would have broken the 10-users thingy...)
- I cannot recreate the user (I tested with another account but somehow the original user stays in the DB)
Thanks again for your help in looking into this.

I see that your account has been renamed pezzin0 so I suppose you have gotten some help already.
But yes, the digit ending your account is needed on the studio, it shouldn't be removed. Probably we should disable renaming accounts on the studio, but as far as I recall this is only the second time it happened.
