make all letters lowercase ("setap", not "Setap").

I think your creator name was originally setapdede, so you didn't copyrighted "Setap" and some dastardly shamrock stole it

I have a theory as to what happened. It's possible your copy of PB went through a reset, thus losing the data that Setap is you. So, now it thinks that someone else is Setap, and you aren't Setap. Thus, it won't let you use your name.

I can reset that for you if you'd like. Send me a direct message  because I might not notice a reply on this thread.
