@TeamYouTube hey guys - any reason why a permanent URL has been given away to another channel? http://YouTube.com/Hannah has been my working URL for several years - Yogscast2 being the original channel name - no longer works and redirects to a random other channel. What gives?

Update – user/hannah is currently active on a different channel. Understand more here: https://yt.be/help/LYia While it's not available to claim, you can use a different one. Note that custom URL needs to closely match w/ your channel name. More here: https://yt.be/help/ios7

Hiya, I know it’s active - this was http://YouTube.com/Hannah which was given to me roughly 6+ years ago. This channel has also existed for as long - so how is that possible? Was never given /user/hannah so is it down to these being merged without checking?

I’ve got marketing material and a lot of stuff linked to that URL which has been changed without warning. Gonna cost me time and money to fix, YouTube set this up directly via my network so it wasn’t a custom URL in that manner.

also just checked and my custom URL was taken up by YOGSCASTHannah years ago - again, custom done by YouTube - so what if I want to change that to make it more relevant? That feature is locked to me.
