How can I close the sidebar and how can I change my name in competitions

Deejay100six · May 2020

Hi,

I had problems playing the game on my old Windows 7 laptop but now I have a new Windows 10 laptop and loving how fast the game is now, (kudos to tech team for the revamp) but I can't figure out how to close the notifications bar on the left of the page. Also, if you look at the screenshot, my username is displayed on the sidebar but when I get on the leaderboard for any level, I'm listed as 'Me'. How can I change that?

I'm playing in Firefox browser on King website. I may consider getting the app at some point but for now, this is how I prefer to play.

Thanks for any help offered. Stay safe.

We warmly welcome you to the Friendly King Community's Candy Crush Soda Saga forum.

You are playing the game on Kingdom Platform so the sidebar will always be there.😌

Since you are using a Windows 10 device, the best platform for you is available on your device.

Hello @Deejay100six Hearty Welcome to our wonderful King Community 🤗

When playing on King.com, it is not possible to close the side bar, where the names of our friends, etc., are displayed. It used to be, but not anymore!

And with regards to your name displaying as "Me" -- it is a change that King brought to his games. In all of the King games, our name will be visible like that only. It is only saying that it is us / ourselves that got that score -- since it is displayed to us. But, all other players and friends will see our name but not "Me".

Did I make sense in explaining it? If you need further clarification, please post back by typing in the comment box given below.

Hope to see you around! Have a great rest of the day and a wonderful weekend ahead 🍬 🍭
