If you fill in only part of your profile information, the profile description goes a bit awry. For example, if you leave your name and dob blank except for the year, you get something like this:

Why is that an error? It's just filling in the information you provided and no less or more.

There's an extra comma due to not all the profile info being there.

, ,

instead of

,

Like I said, minor.

The comma will probably be corrected once you've been playing longer than 21 minutes... It looks like it is happens when the server hasn't updated all the names and such...
It is fine now...

I still don't see why that's an error--that's where your name should go. In the absence of information, it just leaves the space blank.

It's an error because it's a grammar mistake. @poopman: it hasn't got anything to do with how long you've played. Remove your own name in your profile and you'll see.

If there's no name info specified, the name info should probably default to your account name.

If you only have one name specified then it has an extra space too (e.g. on pixielo's profile there's an extra space before the comma).

I'd guess the code just adds the strings together instead of doing something to make things neater.

I have had the same issue. If you don't give a real name, the game should automagically put in your nickname instead. Grammar mistakes aren't good UI practice, even when they make sense from a data perspective.
