I've just tried updating my profile, and it tells me I need to enter a valid username (min of 3 characters)

I can't remember how long I've had this username, but I presume this is a relatively new introduction?

Is there a way I can update my profile whilst still keeping my name?!

The username requirements are quite recent, no spaces, min characters etc.
What are you trying to update in your profile?

I was trying to upload a new profile photo, but also updated a couple of other fields.

Might leave it as it is for now!

Techy/admin advice will arrive to this thread, but the lads have probably on "olliday" like the rest of the country till Tuesday.

Saying that they do pop in occasionally. smile

As a fellow double letter enthusiast I raised the same issue and was told that it is now PH policy to require more than two characters in the user name.

A PH tech-person kindly offered to manually change anything for me though, however in reality I was just "having a fiddle".

Cheers.

It isn't urgent anyway. I think I'll just wait and keep my 2 characters!
