Please help, MNHQ - I can only post once on any thread due to 'please select username' issue.

I'm getting an error message 'please select username' whenever I try to post on a thread. If it's my first post, the username field is editable and if I add and delete a character, it will accept it and let me post. For subsequent posts, the username field is obviously greyed out as you can't change name mid-thread, but I am still getting the same error message only as I can't 'pretend' to edit the username it won't let me post. This means I can't reply at all once I have posted on a thread (and same will be true for this thread).

I have tried - clearing cookies; changing my username (twice).

I am using desktop on Safari

I've attached a couple of screenshots to show the error.

Please can you help as this is really frustrating, it means I can't reply to anyone who has engaged with my previous posts and I look like an arch 'thread plopper'!!

Auldweegie I tried that and it didn't work for me, unless it was my first post on a thread. For subsequent posts it didn't work. But it's all back to normal for me now.
