I use gmail to forward in-world messages, etc..... but now my SL name is displaying instead of my RL name, in RL.

anyone know how this happened? I dont remember making any setting changes. Thanks for any info on where to look.

The top right of the page should have your email address and various links. Click Settings. Once into the settings page, click accounts from the tabs.

In that tab, the top item is 'Send email as' followed by the name you're using <email address>. Next to this is 'edit info'. Click that. It will give you a popup where you can choose to use the name you registered with or enter a new one in.

Hope this solves it!

I read somewhere that they found a bug with G-mail that would show your name and information that you registered with to a hacker if they did a certain combination of actions.... it could be releated to that.

I set up a separate gmail account with my AV name on it to avoid this.
