Display name showing incorrectly on blog comments

Hello,

I attempted to modify my display name. In the upper right hand corner it shows properly as my legal name. When I post to a blog for example, it shows as the old name which is my handle.

For example, in the link below it shows my comments as "vijil3nt" rather than my display name

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Hi Dan

Ed submitted a bug to our support team.

For your issue, I want to confirm with you if you sign into the blog platform recently? If you commented the blog post right after you changed your display name then may cause the issue. The server sometimes is required to sync. Please try signing into the blog and comment or post again and let us know the result. If you still have the issue then we will investigate further.

Thanks

Crystal - I just commented on another post and it displayed incorrectly again.

For reference It displayed correctly here

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2014/02/28/want-to-automatically-configure-your-machines-using-dsc-at-initial-boot-up.aspx

But not here

Thanks,

Dan,

Oddly enough, when you click the link "Dan Cuomo [MSFT]" in the first referenced post, it brings up your profile:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/dan%20cuomo%20%5Bmsft%5D/

On the second post, when you click the link "vijil3nt", you receive a 404 page not found error

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/profile/vijil3nt

Are you SURE you are logging in with the same account each time?

Thanks for the reply, Karl.

Too my knowledge, yes, I am logging in with the same account which is to say, I only have one. I sign in with the same username and password each time. The only difference that I've been able to see, is that when I commented on blogs.msdn.com, my name showed correctly but when I commented on blogs.techNet.com it showed incorrectly.

Dan,

I do know that the two platforms have different settings options, so take a look in your profile settings on the blogs.techNet.com platform.

I suggest to email about this problem to fissues at microsoft dot com. Hopefully they will be able to fix this problem for you.

Yeah, we don't fix things here. We just get it reported to the people who can prioritize the bugs. And they know about it now, so thanks!
