I simply start BA, open Guardian and I see custom 1. If I close Guardian and reopen it I see Mins in the column title, it's only when I just started BA.
OK, cheers, I've just logged in and this is how it appears for me with the mins already showing as the column header name

Just to clarify I've not had to select anything, ie, the Layout is already saved as 'standard' and the custom columns set to 'Default'

Are your profiles already loaded in the same way (ie, you don't need to select either when logging in) but the min column header is displayed as custom column 1?
Yes, I just log in, standard is selected and the only layout but I have to switch to get the mins.
Hmmmm, this shouldn't make a difference but just give it a try

Go into edit custom columns and add a new profile or two and just create and save some custom columns for them
Then try logging in again

The only difference between mine and your set up now is I've got several saved custom column profiles (which I can't delete at the moment to test myself), and just want to 100% rule out its nothing to do with only having/using the default custom column profile

I've just tried that, it still says custom 1 until I switch layout. I've tried it on my other computer and have the same error!

The only other thing I can think of is it could be to do with the main settings profile you have saved
Can you try logging in with your factory default profiles, then create a new settings profile on your main screen.
Then open Guardian and set your layout to Standard and re-save than new profile again

Then login with that new profile and see if that works

Thanks, that's worked fine. :)

I've moved some of my cfg files (ladder, watchlist, filter) to a shared folder on the network and replaced them with symbolic links (file system level shortcuts) so all my computers connect to the same settings. In theory it should work as normal as BA will be oblivious to the file's location but I may need to test that.

I'm assuming that done before you just created this new profile?

If so then its either a setting etc you had saved as part of that original profile that's conflicting with the Guardian layout.
Or it maybe to do with how you've moved some of the files ie, if they were in the original location when the settings file was created and saved but then moved by the time you created your Guardian layout and re-saved your settings profile (now in a new location).

Yes, I relocated the files immediately after installing BA on my new laptop. It shouldn't make any difference as the file system treats symbolic links/junctions just like files but you can never be certain. Most likely an issue with the settings.

I've just exported my soccer screen and settings profiles, deleted them and imported them back. Problem resolved. :D

Strange...same happened to me today with the Distance column. Let me digest what y'all have written here...

Sorted.

Just logged out, then logged back in with Default settings.

Tested by adding a Distance column in my List. Which was OK.

Logged back out, then logged back in with my previous Screen & Settings.

Back to normal.

If anyone else has this problem, the solution appears to be resetting the default custom columns profile (it won't affect your saved custom columns).

It sounds like you had a corrupted settings file.
