Hi @mrsjennilou, sorry you've been having trouble changing your username. We think the fault was at our end - can you have another try now? Hopefully it'll work from now on!

Hi @hitchin89,

Yes, of course. Can you have a try now? There's a wee glitch at our end, but hopefully we've sorted it and you'll be able to change your username now. Smile

Hi @queenofmycastlex - with a bit of luck, we've sorted things for you so you should be able to change your username now. Can you have a try and let us know how you get on?

@Hungryinthefridge and @OnlyClothes - unfortunately we can't see any reason why you can't change your names. Can you both please let us know which device and browser you're using and which version of the site (desktop, mobile or app)?
