Poll: Would you like the facility to change your own username?

GNHQ have you reached a verdict?
Will you be giving GN the same option as MN to change user name?

It seems that 82% would like the option of change of user name

Is something afoot?
I just had a float around my profile page, and saw something saying 'if you have a profile under a different username' or something like that.
Maybe its always been there?

GNHQ has anything been decided/done about this yet?

Read the OP.
It doesn't say anything about actually making a change. They just want to know our thoughts so, job done!

X posts.
Okay, surprise us with the compromise.

I would like to change my username. Didnt take timento think about it when i completed form. Didn't occur to me when i set it up that I might be recognisable by family. So perhaps giving us one chance, within a short period, of changing it once we've begun to use the site. I don't think people need to be constantly changing it.

If posters can change their names at the click of a few keys several times a day it will mean bullying and bitching from a small number

I agree anitampl that's what I did too.
A chance to change would be helpful but don't think it should be done too often

GNHQ, it's been a while now, any progress on this?

What are you thoughts at GN HQ,
Has the name change option been put on the back burner?
Would be interested to know what the GN elves technical team have come up with.

anitampl I did the same and asked HQ to change, giving my reason. They were very helpful so if you are concerned I would email them and explain.

Why does GNHQ appear to think that GNetters are likely to have sock puppets, but not MNetters? Or have I missed the point? (Wouldn’t be the first time!)

Because one chooses ones name when new to Gransnet, it was to me an unknown world and perhaps a more suitable name would have been chosen

Gin Because one chooses ones name when new to Gransnet

If that was in reply to my post, then I'm still none the wiser! MNetters also have to choose a name when they are new, so surely the same applies to them?

Yoohoo, GN.
Those in favour of name changing, at will, as on Mumsnet, are 82%.

Lara The techies are obviously not getting enough and
They have been working on it since 22.11.17 12:01

? does this count as like??

So am I correct in thinking Gransnet has decided to allow posters to name change at will without notifying GNHQ Laura.?
