  1. Unable to edit account name, location, or bio


    Hello,

    I've ran into the problem that I can't change my account Name, Location, or the Bio. I did a search on the problem and found this:
    http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/12/t/1577498.aspx . In the thread, the Support said to
    make separate thread for ease of organizing, helping and that it is a known problem. So here I am. Seeing how the post was done on Sept. 4, 2013; we're hoping there is a simple fix for this by now.



    We know you are supposed to go into Edit Profile, then scroll down to the option you want (Edit Bio, Edit Name, Edit Location).
    The options just aren't there. My hubby said he has tried the recommended "delete and re-download" of the profile and there is no change. The accounts for our kids is also the same. My husband seems to
    be the only one that shows all the options. Any advice/help would be great.



    Thanks



    :)

    Hey there Lil Princess78!

    Sorry to hear about the editing issues. Have you tried to edit your bio on xbox.com? If you haven't already you can try editing your bio on our Edit Profile page. I would also check to make sure
    that you don't have any parental controls enabled that may prevent you from editing your bio. You can find out if you have any of these settings enabled on our Parental
    Control
    page.

    Give these suggestions a try and let us know if you are able to edit your bio.

    It's a known issue right now the only option to change that info would be through the link provided by Mister Quimby. Once you change the info there it will show up on your GT on the console.

  6. Sorry for the late response.

    Your link worked. Thank you. But I would like to know how to get to that. I pulled up my profile on the site here and can't find anything that has an EDIT PROFILE option. I'm probably just overlooking it.

    Thanks again.

    To be honest it is a little tricky....The link is only available currently in the forums. If you try to change your info using the usual methods on the website it will not work. So I'd just save the link to this post. Use it any time you need to update the
    info until the issue is fixed on xbox side.
