BUG: can not change profile to private

I can not change my forum profile to "private" - after clicking the checkbox for "private" there will be displayed an error about the user name not containing valid characters (which was autogenerated and not changed). I did not change the username, just clicked the "private" checkbox.
Also in a second attempt I tried to change the username - the procedure takes me to another window (why?) and after changing the username I click "continue" - but the username showed in my profile is still the same autogenerated one. I still can not change the profile to "private".
After logging out and in again, the username is set to the one I typed in, but the error message trying to change my profile to private is still shown.
I have to add that even the error message about the user name is wrong. It says
"Usernames must be 3-20 characters and consist of letters, numbers, and underscores."
While my username has 3-20 characters and consist of letters, numbers, and underscores.
PLEASE set my profile to private - thanks!
I would strongly recommend to use battle-hardened open source forum software instead of trying to reinvent wheels that stay in alpha forever. The errors described above would not have passed QA even in a small web dev team.

Just FYI, I just tried and was able to set the profile to private and back to public. So it is not a general issue but something affecting some (or only your) account.

Thanks for your quick answer - I still can not do that.

Welcome to the communities.
May be the reason is, that you join these communities today at 10:36. Let's wait and see tomorrow

I agree, sometimes the profile is not completely set / configured, or data needs to be synced with other Oracle systems. If you have just created the account wait until tomorrow and see what happens.

Well - "tomorrow" is today and I still can not change my profile to private. Same error.
Is there anybody responsible for this reading here? Please change my profile to private, thanks.

@PhHein @SQL_12345 the issue should be fixed with the latest build we just released. Try it again now and see if it works. It looked like it was working for me.

Seems to work now. Thanks.
