Launchpad itself

change name error

Asked by Charles Profitt

I get the following message:

=================
Changing your name will change your public OpenID identifier. This means that you might be locked out of certain sites where you used it, or that somebody could create a new profile with the same name and log in as you on these third-party sites. See https://help.launchpad.net/OpenID#rename-account for more information.

You may have used your identifier on the following sites:
http://identi.ca/.

If you click 'Save' again, we will rename your account anyway.
================

I hit save again and just get the same message.

I would like to change my name to privatevoid

from
https://edge.launchpad.net/~indigo196

to
https://edge.launchpad.net/~privatevoid

Thanks

Hi PrivateVoid,

This has been fixed in the current version of launchpad. Please try renaming your account again, and let us know if you have any problems.

Thanks,
Mars

Seems that I'am having the same problem - I get something like access denied when I try to change my name from tomber-gmx to tomber.live
