I changed my board name when I found myself on a thread posted by Christine and 2 of us posting replies were also Christine. It was very confusing snd it became apparent a new name was necessary to avoid confusion. :-D

It used to be that only one person could have a certain board name. I was not allowed to use the name "Margie" because someone else had that board name. It's the reason for the curious spelling of my board name.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Yes Reggie I think we all know that, but when you post on here or reply it only shows your 'name' and not everyone knows how to find out which 'named' person they are replying too.

This site really needs the function whereby you can only have 1 person with a 'board name' with no duplicates, like other sites.
