Someone at MNHQ changed my name...

[00100001]

Now I can't change it back :(

They changed it to a Secret Santa name, please could the default be reverted back to 00100001?

I would have done this through 'contactus', but they will say it can't be done and I'll end up here anyway - so hope you don't mind.

Last time, I promised never to change my name again - but his time it wasn't me, honest!

[twirlypoo]

Um. You look like 001 to me. Is it a Christmas miracle that you have now been restored?!

[iklboo]

Yep. You're coming up in binary clear & fine.

[DragonsCanHop]

Yep, binary for me as well

[twirlypoo]

Binary.... BINARY!!!

[Xmas2015SantaA5417]

no, you see my default is my secretsanta name

I can enter 0010001 in the username box, but it's not that as 'default'

[00100001]

you can call me 001 if you like!

or 33

or !

or numbers


I'm not bothered

[OurBlanche]

Binary for me too - ! as usual.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

You have had this problem before have you not?

[00100001]

Yes.

I promised never to change my name again, because I realise they're bending the rules slightly for me.

Buuuut, I didn't change it this time someone at MNHQ did.

[howtorebuild]

Irish accent Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[OurBlanche]

Oh, I see!

Weird. I hope they can change it back for you.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

I advanced search and found the thread as I was having the weirdest deja vu experience.

It is strange. I assume you have emailed them/reported this thread?

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

You are coming through as 00100001. Not Christmassy at all...

[00100001]

I would email them. But, I'll get a response back saying "no, can't be done because of Jeffery" - well no, the first response will be "this is how you change your name" - then I'll get the "it can't be done" email :)

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

Have you seen my message above yours? You are all numbers!

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

SpongeBob, have you read the entire thread?

[00100001]

ooooh.... it;s been turned back!

[00100001]

thank you to the MNHQ fairy =)

[BeccaMumsnet]

Hi 00100001 - we've changed that back for you now, and Tech are looking into username changing issue that keeps popping up.

[00100001]

I presumed it was because you can't have a username consisting of just numbers any more - something clearly changed after I created this names (and my other all numbers name)

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

I've read the thread. Still numbers, so issue resolved obviously.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Binary explained that she was only appearing as all numbers because she was overwriting her default Christmas name in the Username box. MNHQ have fixed it during the life of the thread.

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

When I read the thread, it was all changed back to the number username. No sign of Crimbo name.

[00100001]

Nothing 'changed back' - I was typing in the numbers each time in the Username box.

I did post once with my secretsanta name =)

[iklboo]

But it was ALWAYS coming up as 001 etc for me. From the OPs very first post (confused......)
