Hi folks,

I tried searching for this one … but can’t find anything explaining it.

I’ve just done an update to one of my Discourse forums just now and _almost_ everyone’s username now has a **1** appended to it.

I can’t unequivocally say that it didn’t happen prior to the update (like maybe it was the previous one) but this is not great.

When I try to manually rename the username as `admin`, it says the username is in use (but it’s not!).

Any tips/advice?

I am on latest with a pretty standard Ubuntu install.
