Question [SOLVED]You are not allowed to change your name!

I am sending you a screening with the account of veronica. when I try to send a message or replying to a post from me this error.

Try your self!

Diaspro: Thank you for your further clarification of the issues. I will try to find out the cause and solution.

Diaspro and pacbrother: Thank you for your report on this issue. The problem is actually caused by a Joomla defect! In Veronica's case, I believe that I have fixed the problem here at www.kunena.org . I will send a PM to pacbrother informing him of the workaround.

Thank you for having patience. I'm Italian and I use google to write English

I've recently just encountered exactly the same issue as Pacbrother. Using Kunena 1.6.1 also. I deleted the users account 3 times and got the member to re-register, with no luck, the same error message Name: You Are Not Allowed To Change Your Name.

I'm sorry, pigalicious, but this problem is not caused by Kunena. The problem it is caused by a Joomla defect. In your case, the problem involves one particular user account at your website. Am I correct?

As you know, Kunena is not responsible for user registration. Kunena uses whatever registration process is used at your website. There may be a workaround for your situation and I may be able to help if you contact me via PM.
