Weeks on and I'm still waiting for someone to fix the error "Error Upgrading" which I can't make go away. Amateurs.

Please open a separate support thread for this.
AFAIK I lost my chosen username because, a) this error prevented me from finishing the process and b) the STUPID voting system allows frivolous rejection.
Just dumb that MNOs can hang around for years and finally fail to get their chosen username on baseless grounds.
Also, I want someone to confirm if username fees only go to Platform nodes and not original masternodes?

Yes, any leftover of the fees for registering a contested username (0.2 dash, allowing both masternodes and evonodes to vote on contested usernames for free) will be distributed among Evonodes at the end of each epoch (9.125 days). So it indeed only goes to Evonodes.
This has been implemented with Platform v1.8.0 and became active when Platform v1.8.0 activated (so very recent). According QE the accumulated leftover fees since start of Platform were not much to begin with (a few dash per Evonode) and now that these leftover fees will be auto-distributed every epoch, it will be even less (much less i suspect). Any vote action from Masternodes and Evonodes will make the leftover fees smaller. So if mno's change their a vote a few times (no --> abstain --> yes), it will reduce the leftover fees of that specific contested username. This was something some mno's like me were doing a lot at a certain point in time, when we were trying to create a lot of Platform state transitions to help Platform Withdrawals get through (this was before Paul from DCG Research created a strategy test for us to use).

An updated dashpay v. 11.1.1 (2) and still I am stuck with this ugly banner "Error Upgrading" GLUED and laughing in my face! Not enough that I spent dash and lost my username to inept voting but now you're just going to remind me every time I open the wallet, forever! 
I have kept to my word, I have intentionally not introduced anyone to dash, dash usernames, nor tipped or otherwise sponsored events. These are things I did for years and never once went to the dash treasury asking for a rebate.
In an act of serendipity, last night, an online retailer that I have frequented, refused to take dash anymore, but litecoin remained an option. God is speaking to me!
