These seem to be getting more complicated and longer, possibly because the simpler ones are all taken hmm a couple I have to check the spelling each time.. I'm not moaning but am wondering if people think it's reasonable to shorten site names where possible. Or would some of you be miffed ?

I am more than happy to be nina

Cherry smile, I was also wondering where Roses was.
She was last in the Argy Bargy Café in mid-August, so hope just on holiday. I miss her posts.

It is quite usual to shorten names on other forums, as long as it's clear who is meant. How do the names get into bold letters? Do you all put a * in front, or is it automatic? And, if so, how come in the previous post by Grannyactivist or GA are both those names in bold print?
