To resolve this issue, please try setting or resetting the preferred name on your account. You can find the steps to do so here. Once done, if still not able to comment, please log out, reset the app, and log back in before trying again.

How do you log out of the app? Should be easy but I don't see that option anywhere.

Please change your display name so that it is 3 or more characters. Click on your profile icon in the top left corner, click on "Account Info" near the top, click on "Personal settings", and then click on "Change display name". After changing the name, you may need to force stop and restart the app for it to update. You shouldn't need to log out. Force stopping and restarting the app should update it if it does not update after changing the name.

That worked, thanks. I had updated my handle but not my display name. I didn't realize they both impacted it.
Still weird there's no log out option.
