You can now change your own username

[Anthea M]

That's better on my ipad! Thought I needed new specs

Have to be honest, I don’t understand the continual buggering about with the structure of this forum. Being able to change your username seems ridiculous to me.

Changing your Avatar is fair enough and acceptable on most forums, but your name……..honestly, what is the thinking behind that???

I know Andy (and I did read the first post, fully), but if you change your name (and possibly Avatar), don't you agree that can lead to unnecessary confusion?

Yes I agree, if you're easily confused..

Jim, You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. I think it's a great idea.

Hey you. I resemble that remark. And I'm quackers.

I thought it was just me who was having difficulties with the text size, and that's on a laptop.

Jim: any chance of it being changed to a 'clearer' larger font such as Arial or Tahoma as standard? I find that it can be difficult to differentiate between a zero and an 'o' in the current typeface.

@deb started a post regards this at weekend..Let's wait and see if @Jim sees it...

How about:

Buckered
Knacked

Oiy! Shush you two, stop picking on me. A poor defenceless, sensitive little lad. Or not!

No problem with name changes except perhaps when there's a complete change of name and you can't remember the old one, you lose that sense of knowing the poster and having to start again. What I don't get is when checking someone's profile there's a complete blank with the message "this member limits who can view their profile". What's that all about?

People can restrict who sees their profile.

says he who has himself had a total renaming (for good and obvious reasons)

fully agree with your other point though, why do folk hide their profile??

I was just thinking it would be useful if profiles included a previous name on there @Jim so we had a half chance of keeping up, but it would only work on those that aren't shy
