      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?

        Wow, this is bizarre. Looks like someone got into the backend of the site and is messing around. Hopefully doesn't get worse. Early hours in India though.

        I just had a look at https://forum.lexulous.com/users and there are a bunch of new 'ginas' signups (many online on the forum right now actually). Definitely something sketchy going on.

        OK, as per lobby suggestion, changing your avatar should fix your messed up username.

                  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???

                      Suddenly the names of me and my opponent are changed. Both of us are now "Ginas." What the hell is going on???

                          @thatguythere202 Yes, it is happening to me in the app and on the website. The names haven't been changed in the app, just the avatars. Plus, the site seems slower.

                              Me and the friends I play with have all our names changed to GINAS now. Can't see any changes in my settings. Have reset my faceword password. Sometimes the scores are correct, sometimes they are flipped so the person who is losing has the winning score. What the heck? Are we the only ones?

                                Changing my avatar worked but of course everyone else on the board is also called Gina so I guess we all have to change our avatars

                                  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?

                                    Lexulous has changed the names of players on my games. I am Tom Frey and I play only with Sylvia Norris. Today BOTH players are "ginas" Can someone explain this event?

                                      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.

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