@#$%!

I experienced this issue before but no one had any solution - Please help me fix this name issue

That issue was in 2007. I'm now using 08.

Everything working just fine.

I've played out 6 years. It's now time to update my names files (names.txt, first_names.txt, and ethnicities.txt) to reflect the era I'm entering.

I didn't really change much in the two names files, and only modified ethnicities.txt very slightly.

I reimported using the reimport function under game setup.

I run the draft -- TONS of names that aren't in the .txt files and most of them the same freakin' last name. What gives? Why can you not re-import the names database??? (And if you can, what are are the exact requirements (what can you do/what can you not do)?

Can someone please help me?

Thanks
