I just can't post anything now, on existing threads

Yep, same here. It will allow you to post once, then when you try and post again in the same thread it's throws up the ' enter username ' box, but you can't type anything in this box. Interestingly, it allowed me to post twice though on the other thread about these problems...

Me too! Using the same name I e always used plus it won’t allow me to change names

I just tried to post on another thread and it threw up an error message saying I had to confirm my user name- which was the one displayed.
I did manage to post in the end though.
It’s just done it again on this post.

This has happened to quite a few people @justasking111 I have seen threads on here about it (Site Stuff.)

I have had it happen to me several times, but it corrects itself when I restart my computer. Don't know why this is happening. It asks you to enter a username (when you are trying to post more posts on a thread after already posting one right?)

... So you post one post on a thread as your username @justasking111 , and even though that is the default name for that thread now, it keeps asking for another name? If this is what you mean, as I say, this has happened to a few people. Any idea what's going on @MNHQ ?? Smile

You can change your username, but you can only have one username per thread. So if you post on a thread where you used an old username, you can't use your new username. Is that what you're referring to?

I'm trying to reply on threads I've been on before apparently I can't change my username. Well I never have.
