I remember ''Secret Squirrel'', Rick. Do hope it is sorted soon. Maybe this may prompt GR to somehow put membership numbers - say, in a signature, at the end of a post. :-) Joy (with so many ''fun'' names)

thank you so much Pat and everyone for your support xx I guess I thought this would never happen to me - how wrong but why??

Pat Report 8 Nov 2005 23:04

I have just sent them a message asking why they have chosen to upset GR members by using someone elses i.d. and also said Genes team will be notified. I asked for them to apologise to you Jan as I think it is a terrible thing someone has done. No one would have been any wiser only for the membership number. i think another reason why Genes should make it less easy to change names so often without visible membership numbers. I hope you don't mind me contacting them Jan but they are probably reading this so know we know what they are up to. I cannot believe some of the goings on, again I hope genes get it sorted and quick. Pat x

Joy - you're welcome :-) It's not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last for as long as Genes allow you to change your name at will without some audit trail of who actually posted what and when. Silly names are fun (says the former Secret Squirrel lol) but it can't be that difficult to devise a way of stopping one member impersonating another. Rick.

Rick Report 8 Nov 2005 22:38

Joy, If you look at the messages posted on chat at 22:08:46 and 22:15:12 they are from member number 3721729 and not from our Jan. This member's name appears to be Linda. Rick.
