@MegaJellyme, to change your profile vanity URL, try this.

1. Login to Facebook
2. In the top right corner, click the dropdown menu - select "account settings"
3. In General Account Settings, click edit next to username
4. Make your changes - click save

@RichyWorld87, if you just change the URL for your Facebook Profile, you will not lose your friends. This is also true for Facebook Pages.

It shows that the content is not available at the moment. why?

[ChristianKarasiewicz]

@Peter Hviid, you now need to submit another form to Facebook to correct this. Look under the Facebook Pages section on christiankonline dotcom slash facebook-help

@RichyWorld87, can you clarify the term, "personal page?" Facebook has two types of accounts. Facebook Profiles (you add friends) and Facebook Pages (you add fans/likes). In either case, if you change your vanity URL, you do not lose friends or people who follow you (it was formerly called subscribers). On Facebook Pages, if you change your vanity URL, you do not lose fans either.

In the danish part - there is no block called username -_-

I got hacked on facebook, and the hacker changed the username, and now I cant change it back... Tried writing to Facebook... but you know, they'll never answer.

[ChristianKarasiewicz]

@Peter Hviid, the only way you can get that fixed is to contact Facebook. Did you try any of the forms on my website? I have a reference guide of 200+ forms. Bitly dot com slash getfbhelp - looks like you'll need to use the hacked account form first.

cheers mate, i was trying for a 5 minutes, then did the lazy and looked it up on youtube. it helped heaps. :)

I have completed the form of "Hacked account" and I have secured it 3 times now. The only thing I can change within "Secure Account" is my name and not my username. Really want the username gone.
