Hi, I've had a good search through old threads and they all talk about a subscription fee but any links to it arent working. Is that still the only way to get your username changed or how does it work?

You can now change your username without subscribing. I did so myself last week. All you need to do is to go to edit profile and the option to change it should be there.

I tried there and this doesn't seem to work. It must have been disabled
