I just checked mine and it is still the same as yesterday.

What system are you using.

Please report what OS platform you’re using.

I was curious about the new training plans so I was on a windows surface pro. I usually ride on an iPad.

@shooj The issue I think is with these brackets []. With these it works (). I prefer the boxy ones but the round ones are the only ones that work. This worked when I logged on again on iOS after updating.

I also noticed only those with ( xxx ) after their name were displayed, no one had any [ xxx ] after their name which is very unusual.

There are multiple updates to the Zwift font in this update, they obviously forgot to allow for square brackets…

As others confirmed this is fixed by changing the square brackets to something else .
Given this was not an accidental change but a known change thats got a mention in the release notes how come it was not part of release testing and RTM …

No dont tell us … we wonder why some of the other more critical things happen like they do :worried:

It would also be interesting to understand what issue the fix addressed that was more critical that some of the others and how it got elevated when I havent seen any noise about it .

Incidently this issue has raised 2 more bugs for me . Both not critical and with messing about can be worked around . Will post in bugs and support .

Same for me on IOS, square bracket doesn’t display ingame and prenthesis do.

During our troubleshooting efforts since yesterday we discovered the same thing.

We are working on sorting out the [square bracket] issue, but in the very short term - we ask if everyone could switch over to (parentheses) in your username. Sorry for the inconvenience.
