drevviken Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Trying to change my username, which I haven't done before, but no matter what I choose I get "no restricted words".I've seen I'm not the only one getting this. What's the cause? Also, the download speed has been incredibly slow despite having Premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 The User cannot change their name. It has to be done by the administration and only upon request. At the bottom of this, and every page, is a link "Contact Us". Use that to request a name change. But, be advised, if you do this, you will lose all your history and will be starting over.

I guess this is something new that was added with site update. Thank you for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 9/10 times this error occurs because of your browser addons breaking the form. I recommend disabling adblock and any other addons at users.nexusmods.com as it doesn't contain ads anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevviken Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 9/10 times this error occurs because of your browser addons breaking the form. I recommend disabling adblock and any other addons at users.nexusmods.com as it doesn't contain ads anyway. That was the first thing I tried when I got the error. Unfortunately it didn't help. Tried with different browsers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevviken Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 I managed to change it by logging out and in again and then immediately go to settings and change it. If I waited more than a couple of minutes the bug appeared again so this is very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex3x Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I also cannot change mine for the same reasons. Tried different browsers, turning off adblockers, signing out and back in again... nothing's working. As soon as I hit the minimum 3 character limit it says whatever I typed in is a restricted word. EDIT: Tried again a couple hours later and it worked... idk man. Weird bug. lol Edited October 6, 2023 by Lex3x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
