Account settings can't be updated anymore

in #steemit8 years ago

Dear @sharilogan,

I have read that you work for Steemit support,
Is that correct?
If so could you help me with a problem on my account settings?

Hi Steemians,

in the last days I made my first steps here in Steem and, as one of them,
I filled out my account settings with a user name, an image, location aso.

This morning I did saw that my account settings seemed to be reset to zero.
Image, user name aso, all is empty.

Now I tried to update my settings again, but everytime I do try it I get a
forbidden icon on my mouse over after pressing update button and nothing happens after that:

(see the mouse over)

I tried with posting and owner password, I cleared browser cache, used different browers, nothing helped at all!
I do asked in the steemchat but @felixx tried to help me but even he did not saw this error so far.



now I would ask can somebody reset my JSON settings thus I can update them by myselfAccording to @xeroc which tried to help me there is no bug in streemian which could cause this, so

Accoring to @pfunk found this in my JSON object for my settings:

Steem accounts store this data in JSON. Your JSON metadata is surrounded by quotes for some reason:

"{"profile":{"name":"Heiko Mahr","about":"I'm a man, husband, father, and product manager most of the day. The rest of my time I'm a photographer","location":"Germany","website":"http://www.heikomahr-photography.co/","profile_image":""}}"

He assumes that the problem are the quotes around the settings, but I can't change it myself,
thus please help if you can.

Sort:  

This bug has been popping up recently and it's been consistently associated with adding Streemian to an account. We'll have a fix to correct the data format on Steemit.com soon.


Or are there any other options?@roadscape: so I have to wait for the bugfix, right?

The bug has been identified and will be included in the next release. For details/comments please refer to https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/1237


Thus can I change my settings till then to correct ones somehow?
Somebody mentinoned I could change my Json data manually, but I don't have any clue how?Thank you so very much @roadscape.

https://steemitstage.com/@heikomahr/settingsYou can wait until the changes are deployed on https://steemit.com, or if you want it fixed now you could update your profile here:

Although, as a general warning -- you should only type in your Steemit password on domains you trust. The steemitstage.com domain was announced here.


As far as I understand it is is an offical project of the steemitdevelopers, isn't itThanks a lot @roadscape.
