Github username change issue

[harmanTheCarMan]

Expected vs. Actual

What were you attempting to do? What actually happened?
I changed my github username to match my email and website. It caused echo to have issues in terms of private groups and having the same permissions as a user in channels.

I can not see any of the previous private channels and no more gear icon next to a post in certain channels.

Steps to Reproduce

How can you reproduce the bug? Include as much detail as you can.
-Change github username
-try to use echo again in same channels as previous username

Environment and Versions

What versions of relevant external software were you using (browser, OS, etc.)?
Chrome on Mac.

Thanks for reporting this, @harmanlearns. Is this blocking you from being able to work / collaborate (trying to prioritize)?

[harmanTheCarMan]

@jeffrey: This is not blocking me from working right now. I can send and receive messages.

This can be fixed when there is time available. I mainly cannot:

-react to messages
-edit messages after sending on some channels
-access private channels

Thanks!

Should I try to change my username on github back to previous then change to new one again?

@harmanlearns, yeah, I think that should get you all fixed up, if you don't mind jumping through those hoops.
