History and tools missing

Hi @chart4 @jmuser

The fix to apply the missing username value is still pending, but I’ve gone in and manually added this to both of your accounts. Please check and see if that resolved the issue.

For anyone else who has this problem right now, do this:

  1. Log into your account
  2. Go to User → Preferences → Manage Information
  3. Add in a Public name
  4. Click on Save

Why or When is this needed?

Galaxy didn’t require a username aka “public name” in the early days, and now it is required. We will be filling these in for people in a batch but you can also go into your account and add one.

All of your preferences are always accessible to you. Update email addresses, public/user names, your password, API keys – everything is under your control. :mechanic:

Yes indeed, that resolved the issue. The history on the right side of the browser window is displayed again, and tools’ input and parameters etc. are displayed again in the central part of the browser window when I click them in the left side’s Tools section.
Great!
Thanks!
