User name

Spendless
Posts: 24,388 Forumite


My husband originally set me up with a user name that I didn't like,so he changed it to Spendless. Though all my posts show as Spendless when I pm someone the name comes through as the original one. How do I change it so my pms also read Spendless. ???

You should be able to by going into profile and delete the top user name ...........not the one people see and put spendless in there...................over-write it in other words
Forget that........trying to be too smug now ...........it doesn't work :-[
Sheel is dead right , it can't be done................you could re-register as yourself................and leave the other for hubby ::)0 -
Oh well Mr Spendless is going to have to buy me something nice to make up for doing it wrong in 1st place.
Don't really want to re-register - not now I've got 3 Stars ;D
Will just have to remember to sign off all pms Spendless;D

I really thought it could be changed..........hey ho , you learn something every day ;D
And at least you get to blackmail hubby0 -
There is only one way to do it, and that would require being very nice to Webbie (Brendan) the webmaster for the site. But I think this is only something he would consider in exceptional circumstances due to the time involved. :-/0

Just thought it might attract unsavoury comments.
But as getting used to site more realise this is unlikely.
Not sure if people will realise who pm is from if forget to sign off Spendless0 -
More people will probaby know your original name now out of curiousity!
Sorry it did make me laugh, even if it killed the cat.0 -
