Can I ask a question about attaching a thread on an email to a possible non mumsnetter?

[jalopy]

I want to cut and paste a thread to my friend. If I don't log on but cut, paste and send thread via email, will my username show up anywhere on the sent thread. I dont want to out myself, iyswim.

Does any of that make sense?

Why not cut and paste the thread title in the bar at the top of your screen - like this...

My email will convert that into a link.

Yes but once she clicks on the link, will my username show up on the bottom of any pages?

Do it anyway then namechange?

Your username will only show up at the bottom if you are logged in on the computer on which the link is opened - if that makes sense?

If she clicked on 'Add a message', would she be logged as me? Does that make sense? I sound paranoid, don't I?

No, she wouldn't. Because you are logged in on your computer - you can't be logged in on two computers/IP addresses at once. So, when she opens the link, she will not be logged in as anyone. She will just see what non-members see when they look at MN threads. At the bottom it will say 'please register or log in to post' or something like that.

Ah, bless you. Many thanks.

She can't possibly be logged as you, regardless of any messages sent and of the log-in status of those who sent them, unless she has logged in as you on her own computer. Really.

Try it - save the email with the link as a draft - then log out of MN, return to the email, and click the link and see what you see.

That's not true Queen. You can be logged on from multiple locations.

But, no, they won't be logged in as you.

Really? My MN is set to 'remember me until I log out', but if I log in from another computer, when I go back to my laptop it has logged me out and I have to log in again.

I am currently logged in on this computer, my phone and my laptop. I have no idea why you get logged out.

You learn something new every day! I just assumed it was to do with making it harder for people to post under two names at once or something.
