User has a blank or non-printable display name - is this legitimate?
There is a FamilyTree user whose name is blank in the Last Changed fields and change logs of the profiles that they have updated. For example, see Laurence Stewart Nicholson.
I know that there are many obscure display names, but surely this is taking privacy too far.

I guess that I meant Contact ID. (I'm not going to risk losing the screenshot by editing my original post.)

Looking into this, the contact id appears to contain invisible non-printing formatting Unicode characters such as hex E2808C ('Zero Width Non-Joiner (ZWNJ)'). This usage is clearly intentional, so I would suggest you report it as abuse.

@JulianBrown38 I will send this up to see if we can figure out what is happening. Thank you.

@sc woz My cynical mind says this isn't a problem with FS' website/systems/data, merely an attempt by a user to hide themselves from accountability.

@MandyShaw1 LOL! How many of our users would like to be anonymous?!?! Fortunately for us, the only thing they can do, is not provide contact information.
Not sure what's up with this one @JulianBrown38. But as sc woz said, we'll see what we can find out. It's a bizarre one for sure. Sam 😉

Good news! This was fixed. It wasn't the user. It was the system that hadn't caught there was an issue. So thank you for letting us know! Sam 🙂

I'm glad to see progress on this one. I had been reading about people simply mass-changing family tree information in destructive ways, apparently because they could do so, and didn't want those types of persons to have yet another tool to use in their grief campaigns.
