Hi I've tried changing my name by following the steps above but it keeps my surname in there. I tried deleting my surname and maiden name from the account page but it says it needs a surname. How do you all have your fancy names showing without the surname? I'm tired of being just plain Emma Compton :-) Thanks Emma |

you put what you want to be called in your Surname Box and if you leave a name in the First name box that will appear also in front of your chosen new name |

I should have thought of putting it all in the surname box, seems simple now. I thought my new name was better than just being boring Emma Compton :-) Thanks again Valerie Emma |

Well it's pretty much permanently sunny here in Florida, we haven't had rain for ages. What I wouldn't give for a rainy day in England :-) |

As far as I know they are just there to allow you to update or delete your message. I don't think there's a way to get rid of them. |

Does that mean that only you can see your own then Emma.......like the underlining of names? Lin xx |

Emma | Report | 16 Mar 2006 18:22 |

Yes, I believe so. The update and delete only show on the messages that you post. |
