    I just noticed that instead of each person's name on the game and my name, they have all been changed to "ginas". Is this some kind of hack and how do I fix it?

        Does this mean I have been hacked? Both names on my games with all my friends are coming up with another persons name (unknown to me)

          @lusciousgrape RECOVER ID: upper right of the game page: click the 3 bars by your nick, then SETTINGS, ACCOUNT, AVATAR, SAVE. Your nick will come back when you change the avatar to your old one.

              Hey admins... if anyone is listening... some jokester is hijacking people's names in the lobby and turning them all into "Ginas" or "Testicles." Weird sense of humor, amusing to some I suppose; but pretty irksome to those of us who want to play real games with real people. Can you do something about this ASAP please?

              @thatguythere202 same thing here. Guess I’ll delete the app I won’t play like this.

                        My name is Betty and I'm playing about 50 people. Suddenly, both players (myself and the opponent) are named Gina in every single game!! How can I correct this???

                              All the names in played and in progress changed to Ginas.
                              Also, I cannot email Lexulous as I do not have Outlook. Is this on purpose? Is gmail too odd or do they not wish to hear from us?

                                        yesterday there was a discussion about friends list in lobby. I commented I had none because of problems here over the years. Today Atari was on my list, the only one because I had none. Did not ask I did not offer. Well removed him and yet again he is back on. Any suggestions to keep him permanently removed?

                                          Thanks, sakamvari, for fixing this. 🙂

                                          I only realised what I was being called when I saw the reference to "T####cles" on this page by hovering over the word "G##-gate". I've edited the word for those of a delicate disposition and also not to be banned from this website (I say this because it was apparently thought necessary to censor ThatGuyThere202's use if the word "T####cles")

                                          I am reminded of a recent article in which a teacher was fired for "lack of professionalism and impaired judgment" (!) for reading an extract from Dawn McMillan's book entitled 'I Need a New B##t!' to 7-year-old and 8-year-old students last week.
