Showing my email address instead of my user name

When I use mumsnet on my laptop it is showing my email address instead of my user name under "Add your message here". I use Firefox.
I have to manually change it to my user name on every thread I respond to.

Any idea why this is happening?

It won't actually let me post with my email address as it says
"You do not own the username: [email protected]"

Fortunately!

I am having exactly the same problem. I have logged out and in again twice.

My email address shows highlighted in pale yellow where the username should be. If I delete it the field repopulates itself with my actual username.

I am interested to know what this glitch is as that could be bad news if people don't spot it!

That isn't my email address. It is just a made up one as an example.

Um you might want to get this thread deleted because now the whole weird internet can see your email address
