Just delete it

Why can't you just delete it?

Letmegohome · 24/11/2024 00:44

@Beautifulkitty if you see this

I've had the same problem in the past. Im not sure there is a solution. There seems to be some kind of glitch stopping you from deleting it.

Yes I have had this too, thought I was doing something wrong. Strange

If you @ someone you can't delete it.... Or at least I can't @CoffeeAndPeanuts @NuffSaidSam

I believe there’s a problem with the forum at the moment which means you can’t delete a username you’ve tagged in a draft post. No idea what the remedy is. Try posting in the Site Stuff section, where MNHQ will see your post, or report your post here to get their attention.

@MarvelJesus thank you

I've @ the wrong person before and just apologised said ignore it's never been an issue but this appears to be a deadname so won't allow me to send. I might leave this up on the chance @Beautifulkitty sees it as she should get a notification when I use her name. ( That is correct right?)

Maybe copy and paste? But leave out the old username bit.

NuffSaidSam · 24/11/2024 00:59

I just tried and it wouldn't let me delete an @ name, but I did highlight and 'cut' and it removed it....a work around for the time being.

Weird I just used the backspace button.

probably depends on what you're using I'm on web, not app. iPhone
