It's been weeks since I've been on the forum, but I'm still sending gifts to my regulars. De-icer, spare props, and nav modules generally. Hope everyone is receiving!
Has the "username" issue been solved? I've noticed something interesting. I play on an iPad. Whenever i'm at home on my wifi network...no usernames. When I play connected to wifi from somewhere I've played before...no usernames...BUT...when I am travelling, and using 3G network via cell towers...or hookup to free wifi somewhere...I magically see usernames.
Maybe someone has suggested this before on this forum but in case not...thought I'd comment. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I wonder if GI purposely screws up the usernames when someone plays continuously from the same public IP address? Maybe just those who have never actually bought any airport cash (like me!).
GI has game servers..they must log which players come in from which public IP addresses...and who pays and who doesn't...I'd be interested to know if people who've bought airport cash for real money have the username issue?
Regardless...if your game is portable, like on an ipad...and you have the username problem...take it to somewhere you can connect to a wifi network you've never connected to before...and see if your game shows usernames

Interesting theory. I broke down and bought $. I don't seem to be having as many problems with the avatars as some of our friends. Mine still isn't right, but it isn't awful.
