Your account looks completely normal to me, and we have no such concept as a "read-only" account.

Yes it looks normal, but it is not.

Can you try sending me a private message on it ?

Do you want my password to test yourself ?

By the way, another user just send me a direct email saying he was having the same problems... (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/bmarand)

I'll stay on IRC #osm just in case...

It turned out that you had an upload that was wedged and was holding a lock on your user record. I've killed it now so things should be working again.

It seems I have the same problem :

(posted on talk)
Hi all,
I've made few changes near [1]

I have made changes with JOSM yesterday. I was unable to upload them. So I have saved the file. I have tried also yesterday to make some changes with Potlatch2 in the same hamlet. Potlatch could not create a changeset.

Today, I have tried to upload my changes from yesterday with JOSM. But JOSM can't create a changeset. So I canceled the upload.
I have tried again to make some changes with Potlatch. Few changes were accepted in the changeset 15685756 : modifying the name of a church, adding a hamlet.
So I tried to upload my JOSM's changes. And I have stille the same problem : JOSM stops on the stage "creating a changeset..." (into French)...
And again I tried to make some changes with Potlatch2 (adding a point cemetary). Now Potlatch is still trying : "Saving to changset 15685756".

Is it a problem linked to my account ? Is it a known issue ?

Some infos :
OSM account : FrViPofm
IP : 86.218.199.87 (probably other yersterday)
I have updated JOSM latest yersterday : my version is 5837

Both JOSM and Potlatch are still trying to create the changeset or upload changes.

I think the problem is most likely just that the data you uploaded from data2upload.osm is large, and touches a number of very large and complicated relations, so processing it will take some time and your user record is likely to be locked during that processing.

You should really wait for a changeset upload to complete before trying to do any more edits, or at least before trying to do any more uploads.

In any case this is not related (and never really was) to this ticket, so we should stop reopening this ticket now.
