Can't change my nickname back, also being offered other people's names as options

Have briefly changed nicknames to this one of one particular thread to avoid outing my other name.

Now I can't change back to my usual name. It lets me change the name and says it's saved, but it isn't, it stays as this name.

And when I start to type it, it brings up options for other nicknames that aren't mine but which I think I recognise as in use by other people.

I'm having the same problem. Just tried to namechange back to my usual name but it won't let me. (I took this name on for a specific personal thing) I tried an older name of mine too and it wouldn't go to that.

Same thing happened last week, but I didn't notice till after I posted something (I reported that one at the time)

Hi SarahAndFuck and Anniecarrieson,

This is tres weird, sorry this is happening to you. Can you give us a bit more info about your browser etc?

Actually, now I've posted, my name has changed back.

But until I clicked 'create conversation' it still had the other, 'wrong' name showing.
