What should I do if I have forgotten my password?

On the login page, you will find a link called "Forgot password". Click on it and you'll be redirected to a form where you'll have to fill in your email address. We will then send you further information regarding how to reset your password by email.

Can I change my username (citizen name)?

Earlier you couldn't change your username, but now you can. You can do it simply going on your profile, then click "edit profile" button.

How can I use my own image on my profile?

In order to have access to your profile, you have to be logged in. Go to your profile and click on 'Edit profile'. Here you'll be able to choose your photo and to upload it to the site.

Many users report that after they have uploaded their new avatar, it does not show up. You do not need to continue uploading the same photo over and over again. This is a common bug and with a little time and patience, you will be able to see your photo.

Why isn't the new image I uploaded showing?

Sometimes, your browser may store a cached version of your old profile picture, therefore meaning it loads the old version instead of the new one. To resolve this, you should either use Ctrl+F5 (Internet Explorer) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Firefox, Chrome, etc.), or completely clear your browser's cache.

If this still does not work, it is likely that eRepublik's servers are still processing your upload and will take some time to update your profile picture.
