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'!!

Thanks, all. We're aware of this issue and we're working on a fix for it - we'll be back with an update as soon as we can.

In the meantime we're really sorry for all the frustration this is causing.

Hi all

Can we check how the username issue is, Is it sorted for you? We rolled out a fix, so we're just making sure everything is back to normal.

@WorthyLion can you let us know if you're still experiencing the issues mentioned in your post?
