Board names
« on: July 10, 2006, 11:41:08 AM »
Can I make a plea for people not to keep changing their board names? Or perhaps the mods can do something so that they cannot be changed? Maybe I'm the only one fed up with it - I'm sure it's amusing for those in the 'inner circle' but for the rest of us trying to keep up with who is who is really irritating. I use the boards for psoriasis reasons and trying to keep track of who has tried a particular treatment or been to the dead sea or whatever is becoming impossible.

It can be annoying trying to work out who's become who, so i can understand your irritation.
I'm not sure if we could or we should try and restrict to one choice though.


Technically I don't know if we could do it as not all fuctions of the forum are adjustable as such, Michael will know...

It can be difficult, like when peeps change their avatars too. Guess you'll just have to ask peeps who they used to be!  :-/

Thanks anyway, I didn't realise it ws that easy. I don't know about 'bovvered' mate it's just that I was losing track of people and their p experiences but never mind. Thinking about this since my post I've realised that many of those using chit chat all day hardly ever post on the p boards anyway so I don't suppose it really matters ;)

Most, like myself, who use the PA board sign off with their own name,
I do it , cos it does matter  ;)
