User name change

[user1464552773]

Hello, I'm so embarrassed to even ask this but I can't seem to see how to change my username although it must be easy to do. Can anyone help? I don't want to be a random username for ever!

Go to the person icon in top right corner
Choose settings and it will show current user name in a box
Just type new name and save

Thank you for taking the time to reply. For some reason I can't get the keyboard up when selecting the username, so I can select or copy it, but not type anything new in that box. It's so frustrating .

Hi @user1464552773,

Sorry you're having trouble changing your username. We've just checked your account and think we've found the issue so can have one more try please? Hopefully you'll be able to change your name now.

We know you've been on the site for years but in case you're ever stuck, there's lots of useful info in our FAQs/Help page.

Thank you! It worked!

I'm getting a similar issue. Thought it'd be easy, but all I get is a log-in page, but I'm logged in, so it takes me round and round in circles. Log in to see your profile > am logged in > try logging in again > log in to see your profile etc etc until the end of time. What am I doing wrong?

Can we ask you to log out of the site completely?

Upon returning to the login page, ensure that the 'keep me logged in' box is ticked.

This should sort the issue out but let us know either way!

Great, thanks. And here I am, all Hallowe'ened up.
