How do I change my User name?

email them ..

[email protected]

It doesn’t go anywhere.

I changed my user name a few years ago I emailed contact us. Had to give a reason why I wanted to change it.

Peasblossom

It doesn’t go anywhere.

What do you mean?
I’ve emailed them loads of times.
Just type the address that lemsip has given.
Failing that, email Mumsnet

TBH they should make the new poster change her name .

Report your own post and tick other then tell them in the box provided that you need to do this
But talk to the new peaseblossom unless she was here before !you ! something similar happened with me and we had a private chat and the newer person changed hers said she didn’t mind at all

I've been trying to do this lately and sent them an email to which they replied.
But they still have me by the name and email of a previous username so I'm a bit stuck. I replied and told them this but no reply.
I think I might just rejoin as a new member but am scared I might just get cut off altogether as once happened on another forum.

scroll down to bottom of this page and click on the contact us option ;........ for all other queries....... I used this the other day and had a reply the next day! so it does work!

For all other queries, including running a competition with us, please email [email protected]

Thanks lemsip. I appreciate your help but Contact Gransnet just takes me to a blank page with no facility to type anything and the email address won’t send. The little send arrow just stays pale grey not the blue for active.

I have reported myself though as suggested by Bluebelle. ?

Why not keep your name? I think a lot of us know the difference because you've mentioned it before.

Sorry to hijack your thread Peasblossom.
After a bit of messing about they seem to have switched me back to my original user name [confused}.

Ah, were you Allsorts for a while Fennel?

Keep pursuing it peasblossom it is much too close to be sure who is writing what and who knows the other peasblossom could write something you totally disagree with
To allow a name with just one letter difference to one already in use is completely wrong and should have never happened in the first place
Of course the average person won’t see that one letter difference when they are reading dozens of posts GSM

I’ve never been Fennel.?

It’s easy enough Peasblossom.
Deregister, (look at the list at the bottom of your screen at My Gransnet) then have a cuppa or do something else and after GN have acknowledged and confirmed your deregistration, rejoin, choosing a new username.

And Maw knows she’s done it once, or twice, or, or, or ….

I was Marmite32 for a while which I then realised was similar to Marmight and I always missed Fennel.
Before that I had my own first name which was the same as 2 other members.. And at that time there was a big change of names as some of our discussions were being published in the 'broadsheets'.

Fennel

Did you ask them, Fennel

They never take any notice of me ?
Next time I'll come back as InvisibleWoman

There are many Elizabeths which is why I am 27.

Well, I’m not having much joy.

I reported myself and HQ got sent an email to say contact them with a new name and they will change it.

Unfortunately it isn’t possible to reply directly to the email and they haven’t grasped the bit where I said Contact Gransnet is just a blank page and the Gransnet email address won’t send.

So I’m going to report this post. Otherwise I’ll try deregistering like Maw suggests. But won’t it say it’s the same email address when I try to rejoin?

BlueBelle

And Maw knows she’s done it once, or twice, or, or, or ….

Indeed I have BlueBelle when I have become so disillusioned with “Groansnet” , depressed at those whingeing about the younger generation, especially daughters or daughter in law or the political bickering or the frankly depressing threads about intolerance or self righteousness and how potty training/nappies/childcare etc is going down the pan!
Instead of just switching off, I have left, deregistered and gone away.
Only there were always posters I missed so I rejoined, but of course you can’t have your old username back again so I have gone for variations which made it clear who I was (MawBroon, MawBroonsback, , MayBeMaw and now MawtheMerrier) with no intention to mislead.
I hope nobody takes exception to this. Other members have added a number to their name and yet others gone for something completely different.
Each to their own.

And MawBe!

I have noticed today that there is a poster with the same name as another very regular poster (think chocolate) but with two digits at the end.
It doesn’t seem right somehow

Thanks Fennel, I was trying to remember who you ‘used to be’
