Classified sale issue

[jking]

I'm trying to post an item for sale but I get this error message.

I think I've seen another jking member on the forum. Could that be the problem? If so will it take a moderator to approve it?

YES! Change your avatar name, even by just adding a # after it. Should solve your problem.

Like the message says, someone else is already using the name that you chose. Just pick another user name or add a symbol to it.

I can do that, weird though since I've been a member for 7 years and now my user name is invalid after all this time. Identity theft I say..

I think I'll wait till I can visit with a moderator. Maybe it's something else. Wouldn't changing my user/avatar name basically be creating a new account?

I would pm a mod. before you do anything.

Like already stated above, PM a mod about this. You have a unique user name, there isn’t anyone else with it. You can check user names when sending a PM. When you type in the member name you are sending it to, it pulls all matches for you to select the recipient. See the attached pic below.
