    Hey guys. I'm a new forger. Since Reach was released I have made two maps in Forgeworld. One of them is so-so and the other one I think has a lot of potential.

    Here is my problem; for some reason in Halo Reach and Halo Reach alone my gamertag is blocked from file sharing. This is a major problem as I am not able to share my maps that are tied to this gamertag. I tried making another account and saving the map under that GT. But it only adds that my new GT modified the map. It still says that my orginal GT created the map which results in it still being blocked from being uploaded.

    Is there anyway that I can change the creator name to my new GT. I would really like to avoid having to start from scratch on a GT that will work. Both these maps took me 12+ hours and the second one I have already forged twice.

    I'm having problems with changing the creator too. I was working on it for a little at the very early stages of it on my roommate's profile, but then I switched to mine. I'm hoping I won't get disqualified from the contest for me being the author and not the creator even though I did all the work. It would be nice if the map creator GT could be changed with the consent of the original map creator to a different one.

    I heard on this forum that you can just do "save as new map" and it puts in that whoever is saving the new map created it. Try that.

    That didn't work for me. The map creator still remains the same but you can change the name and description.

    What happens if you change your gamertag via microsoft point?
    Will it leave the name you created it as and not the new one?
