Cannot change username

[drevviken]

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.

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 stand corrected. I guess this is something new that was added with site update. Thank you for the correction.

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.

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.

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
