Is anyone else seeing this? When I click through to the order everything looks
OK: user's real name and BrickLink ID are there with a complete and proper
address that matches the PayPal address. So far this only seems to happen on
the orders page.

Maybe they have no name.

I wondered, but then remembered that that would make them a horse in the desert,
and horses can't buy on BrickLink (or maybe they can? The TOS don't
explicitly forbid equine members).

Look carefully at their PayPal, or Stripe, payment for signs of anything odd.

Yes, I have had this happen. It also was on a zero feedback user. Looking at
the filed order, still no name showing and the user now has a feedback of 2.

had one last week, thought it was a fluke, must have been a flounder.

I had one in the 27th just like this. I looked on the order page and it now shows
the user name, but not on the Orders Received page. Everything checked out as
far as PayPal.

I've got one of these now as well. New user (joined yesterday), manual invoice.

--------------------------------

Okay, BrickLink, now it's your turn:

Step 1: multiple members report and provide details of a technical problem.

Step 2: you notice because someone in the office is following the Technical Issues
topic in the Forum.

Step 3: you ACKNOWLEDGE our report by replying politely to this thread. Hey,
thanks for the report! We are now aware of this problem (a) someone will look
into it. (b) we already have a fix in process.

Step 4: kindly report back here when appropriate action has been taken.

Ready? Go...

----------------------------------

Our first one showed up on 5/20. It was disconcerting at first, but all the
information on the invoice/order matched up with PayPal so we just went with
it. No problems from any of them so far.

Unfortunately I haven't seen one of these yet. It would be interesting to
see whether there is actually no info at all there, or whether the info is somehow
"invisible" because of some badly placed HTML code (and your browser decided
"let me fix that for ya"), special characters in the name, etc.

And yes, "it would be interesting" only applies to techies, for others I fully
understand the "fix it already!" standpoint.

I had one happen on 3/27, the only special characters in the name are a period.
Looking at the raw HTML does not show anything odd either. User name still shows
blank on my orders received page, but user name shows up on the order details
page. I thought is was strange, but details matched on PayPal so I shipped it
out. They did not leave feedback and have not marked it as complete, but only
about 1/2 my buyers do either.

My bet is it's a timing issue. Somehow order fills in the black name before
the user registers...? It's been so long I don't know. It happened to
me recently as well. I could ask the user when they had to enter their name.

Maybe a new user has gone through the registration process recently and could
enlighten us.

Got one as well (yay?), also 0-FB user (order #16505080). I checked all the info
I could check on my side:

- As others already said, the name is simply not sent for that table row (so
no browser-side fix for some "tag-soup-like" error).
- The browser does report CORS errors for "manifest.json" due to a missing "access
allowed" header - although very sloppy, this is not causing the issue we see
here.
- I checked the info as reported by the API, there is nothing that is different
from properly-working order rows. Our internal software (which runs off of the
API) has no issues whatsoever.
- I can also confirm this issue does not seem to impact the order process (like
invoicing etc).
