Hi Liz Yes I did scroll down and saved changes. As I collect pigs (not real ones unfortunately) I wanted to be Miss Piggy!!!!!! My son thinks I am mad. He could be right. Ann (Miss Piggy)

Ann you are not the only one, I asked the same question last night. I thought I was the only one that was small and black. I was then asked why I wanted to change my name, a good question I thought so I will just be me Carol 430181

No, still the same I'm afraid, Ann! Did you scroll down to the bottom and click on 'Save Changes'? Better luck next time! Glad the Old Bat's been of use to someone - kept wondering if I dare ask such a basic question, everyone seems so knowledgeable on here! - Liz

Thanks for that Jess. I thought I was the odd one out but apparently not. We never see ourselves as other see us do we

Chezza - who seems to be developing a size complex...! Mine is small and black to me, yours is large and blue. You only appear black to yourself - if that makes sense. jess

Sue Report 3 May 2005 22:13

Yay! Thanks for asking the question, Liz. I've been meaning to get round to it for ages! Sue.

Sue Report 3 May 2005 22:12

Let's see if it works for me too... Sue (in NZ)

Chezza Report 3 May 2005 22:11

Great info. I might be daft but I have been wondering that for some time! How come everyone else's name is larger in blue and underlined?

Ann

Ann Report 3 May 2005 22:07

Was going to ask the same question. Thought is would be more user friendly. Tried it didn't work. What am I doing wrong

The Bag

The Bag Report 3 May 2005 22:03

Depends. i am tracing my adoption history so sometimes it is adventagious to be annonomous. dont think it really matters what you call yourself as long as you dont keep chopping and changing Jess

Liz Report 3 May 2005 22:00

Thanks for that Jess and Kathleen. Not a major change but a bit less formal! I did think about a more anonymous name but there are parts of the site where that wouldn't be useful. Any disadvantages/advantages to being anonymous?
