Fall Update bugged: don’t change forum login email, Windows Live ID

We picked up word from Trixie of Xbox.com about a problem that’s going to come with the Xbox Live Fall Dashboard Update. It’s not particularly debilitating, but if you’d like to keep your forum settings, then you better read the message that comes after the jump, unless you don’t mind losing your forum settings.

We picked up word about a problem that’s going to come with Microsoft‘s Xbox Live Fall Dashboard Update. It’s not particularly debilitating, but if you’d like to keep your forum settings, then you better read the message below.

The message is as follows:

Hey everyone – weÂ’ve discovered an issue with the Xbox LIVE Dash Update that happens tomorrow morning.

If you change the Live ID associated with your gamertag (as the Dash update allows you to do), you will lose all of your forum posts, CUL and icons. All your posts will appear as ‘anonymous’.

WeÂ’re hard at work on a fix, but despite the team working on it all weekend, we donÂ’t have a fix ready to go out with the update. If you are particularly attached to your Community User Level or forum icons please DONÂ’T change your Live ID until we deploy a fix. It should only be a few days, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will let you know as soon as it is safe to change your Live ID and keep all your forum goodness.

As you can see, the bug won’t keep you from playing, but it will revert your forum posts, community user level and icons to a blank slate. If you frequent the forums, you’d do well to keep from changing your Live ID for the next few days until a fix is implemented for the update.

In the meantime, keep checking QJ for updates on this little bug. We’ll be sure to inform you when it’s safe to change your Live ID again.
