Oh yeah, forgotten to cin.ignore(). Glad you figured it out yourself. :D

cin.getline does not seem to be recognised on Code Playground. Try: int comNum, time; string username; cin >> comNum; getline(cin, username); cin >> time; Remember to split different input into multiple lines, e.g. 1 ValentinHacker 20

check out "cin.get()" and shouldn't "cin.getline" should be "geline(cin, userName)" ?

cin.get(0) do basically the same thing as cin.ignore(). but there is a slight different.
