Oh shit! I did wonder whether you'd been body snatched.

Any teenagers in your house, or a 'funny' Dh playing around?

No teens and it definitely wasn't dh. He can't spell so his writing is very identifying

Plus people are saying my posts are not highlighted so it must be a different account

Very strange. Your commenting posts aren't highlighted in that thread either.

It's weird that the other Need's posts are highlighted and yours aren't. So it's not the same account.

We must have been hacked again. Ffs.

It doesn't look like its come from your account as their posts are hiking hated green and yours aren't on the thread.
It looks like someone has found a way to change their nn to something already used, although a bit stalkerish.
I've reported the other thread

Reposting my reply on the other thread:

If you hover over the 2 names, you can see that the imposter is using a capital I (9th letter of the alphabet and sounds like eye) instead of the lower case l (12th letter of the alphabet and sounds like el) in Clever.

Zombie wonders if this is the same charmer who thought it was cute to post as AnyFucker2, AnyFuckery and ArrmySal on HoneyDragon's pissflaps thread? Hmm

Hullo chaps, sorry for the delay - we've been beavering away behind the scenes.

We can confirm that NeedACleverNN didn't actually start that thread this morning - a font issue meant that someone with a v similar name posted that thread. We've been in touch with NeedACleverNN and explained what happened. We're still investigating the situation - we'll update you soon as we know any more.

Ah right. So no-one else needs to do anything special? Smile
