Why can't I change my nickname?

I go through the motions, change name and enter password to save changes and it just reverts to current name. Very annoying! Any hints?

Help!

Jux · 26/02/2014 08:38

Ah. Fail!

That post and this should both be from JuxBackfromtheDead.

Jux · 26/02/2014 08:37

Just changed my name. The My Account page still showed my name as Jux. The message box here shows Jux.

Let's see what it does when I actually post.

YarnyStasher · 26/02/2014 08:22

If I send a pm in one name, my name automatically changes to that.

olibeansmummy · 26/02/2014 08:20

Name change won't work for me either! :(

olibeansmummy · 26/02/2014 08:20

Test

Hi, having trouble too...it's sporadic (on PC at home) attempted to name change 8 times...failed 7 times and now suddenly I am me again......

OverwhelmedAndScared · 23/02/2014 13:37

Oh, it has worked because this is my namechange Hmm

It didn't show it had worked though. Just stays on my usual username.

OverwhelmedAndScared · 23/02/2014 13:36

Still not working. Its been like this for days.

I need some help but I can't post under this name Sad

Oodhousekeeping · 23/02/2014 11:01

I was complaining of this a few days ago where were you all then? and then it let me and It screwed up and posted my name changes on the screen and HQ had to delete it!

yourlittlesecret · 23/02/2014 09:41

Well that's weird.
It said chelseahotel when I previewed and when I pressed post it reverted to yourlittlesecret.

I won't play with it again until you say it's mended.

yourlittlesecret · 23/02/2014 09:39

Ahem Tech?
Oh bother. I was trying some new nicknames to see if it was fixed a Leonard Cohen theme if you must know and now I can't get back to yourlittlesecret.
I don't want to stay with this as I post on a couple of long running threads and need to keep my proper NN.

OK, laptop, Win8, Safari. It has changed it.

However, when in My account (from My Mumsnet) the change doesn't show so I thought it hadn't worked, ie, when the changes have been saved the name showing on the page is the original one and not the one you've changed to.

Then I came to this thread, and the name above this box was the name I've just changed to (which didn't appear on the My account page after saving). That made me confused about which name would actually appear when I posted, so I posted a blank.

Does that help?

What devices are you all on?
Is it a mobile issue or a computer issue and browsers too please?

member · 21/02/2014 13:53

Ah! I attempted to NC last week for the first time; nothing happened after I saved so I thought I was doing something wrong!

Jux · 21/02/2014 13:50

Still not working then.
