Name change broken?

I can't name change. I've tried about 50 times on 2 computers. Clicking 'save changes' just takes me to a blank page.

Anyone else having problems?

MNHQ, hello

And I was using an ad blocker but turned it off, and it still happened.

I just tried on Windows 10, using Edge browser, desktop, and got a 404 error message.

MNHQ, hello?

I tried to change my name several times and just keep getting a message saying I don't own that name.
I don't want to own it, I just wanted to borrow it ;)

Hello,

Apologies, we've had another thread about this recently, so you are not alone and Tech are looking at the issue. We hope to have it sorted asap.

Apologies all

KissMyArse · 10/06/2016 20:43

I just tried it and it works for me.

girlwithagruffalotattoo · 16/06/2016 16:35

This is still not working for me Sad

Just came here to ask about this. I've been trying for months, but never succeed. Just get a blank / error page. I have to close my account and restart with a new name. Which seems silly (and means I'm probably using up valuable names, as I assume they can't be used again after I shut down being that person?!). Will be awaiting the glitch-fix eagerly...! But until then, it looks like I'm off to close my account. Again...

Still not working for me on Chrome, though it is on IE.

Xenophile · 27/06/2016 20:43

Ah, works on Safari, must just be chrome that's being feeble.

TanTanNubuck · 28/06/2016 13:58

It's been broken for weeks, if not longer.
I had problems trying to NC with both Firefox and Chrome. Was eventually able to NC using an ancient version of IE.

I'm having this problem too MN.

I want to change back to one of my previous usernames but keep getting the message "must contain a-zA-Z0-9 characters... and not be in use already". The person who has used it before is me but am not using it at this moment.
When I click on "Save changes" I get a blank page and the change is not made
