Not only do you now have to keep your forum down to eighteen letters, they can't manage to print it all when you do! hmm

wotsamashedupjingl Thu 23-Feb-12 17:13:00

Whoops! It's just in Actives.

As you were! grin

Carol Thu 23-Feb-12 17:17:10

We know it's you Jingl!! Have you thought of adopting a permanent name? We could offer some suggestions......... grin

bagitha Thu 23-Feb-12 17:53:45

Hi, jings! Or should I say High, Jinks? A wee question: why do you keep adding so many letters to your name when we all know you're just jings? wink

Ariadne Thu 23-Feb-12 18:29:09

Forum name, do you mean? Why bother? You are you, Jings, whatever you call yourself. "A Jings by any other name...."

Carol Thu 23-Feb-12 18:31:30

.....would smell as sweet! grin

jeni Thu 23-Feb-12 18:54:16

I'm just curious to know why you keep changing your forum name whatsup.
What's it all about, eh?

bagitha Thu 23-Feb-12 20:04:33

Hello, butty. Are you home again now? And feeling fine, I hope!

Butternut, sometimes I think "oh, it's (GN) not such a good thing, really", and I wander off, unsubscribing as I go. But then I decide to come back, and they won't let you back on with the same name (good thing - you could be impersonated). So, I come back with a different name, but try to keep it recognisable.

Last time (ish) I tried jingL which should have worked as they say you can try a mashed up phrase (their words). It didn't work. So I just used the phrase "whatisamashedupphrase". Then I thought I should add jingl somewhere.

Wipes sweat from brow and buggers off. (for now) smile

Glad you are better. [sunshine or whatever] smile

Maybe we could have a competition to choose a new name for WAMUP/J?
I like bagitha's "Hi Jinks".

Carol Fri 24-Feb-12 12:05:52

.............she'll only change it when the fancy takes her!! I quite like the variation now grin

Butternut Fri 24-Feb-12 12:11:42

Cheers, whatsup.
That was a longer post from your normal ones, so thanks for explaining it all.
It sounds like a bit of a kerfuffle, but if works for you, then why not! wink

wotsamashedupjingl Fri 24-Feb-12 13:16:45

You get really expert at it after a while! Do it in no time. grin

Re-doing the profile is a bit of a faff though. My gets shorter.
