I have a complant.

I have just namechanged.

Luckily I was on a TwittyArsingAround thread.

It could have been something really embarassing.

I didn't know the hovery-thing still worked when you namechanged. I thought it'd be like your profile.

Bad day.

Aah, it nicks it from your old name and applies it to your new name. So still a problem.

Have PM'd.

Are we decided that it does or doesn't stay? The tag that is? It definitely used to stay.

AtYourCervix · 09/11/2011 20:10

only a bit. why? pm me.

I just came on to find out what a complant is Grin

HerdOfTinyElephants · 09/11/2011 19:27

Hah -- and you are about the only poster whose hovery thing I'd recognise, too, because of your hovery things thread last week (or whenever it was)...

FellatioNelson · 09/11/2011 19:22

I have made that very same mistake before as well, when I name-changed for something personal. Luckily I realised and disabled the hovvery thing in the nick of time. But I agree with you - you should have to opt in to keep the hovvery thing when you name change.

AtYourCervix · 09/11/2011 19:19

or does the ovver thingy work if you enable profile and get an underlining? in wjhicj cas a sensitive namechange to talk about mucous or poo would be pointless bollox too.

AtYourCervix · 09/11/2011 19:18

showey can you check mine and see if it is there with my change?

ShowOfHands · 09/11/2011 19:17

I realised this a while ago. I have to remember to change my tag when namechanging or it outs me.

AtYourCervix · 09/11/2011 19:17

my name chnge has proved htis thread pointless bollocks.

it doesn't linger like dog hair at all.

crevix · 09/11/2011 19:15

i think you are all talking bolocks an i should be elected queen.

tooearlymustdache · 09/11/2011 18:55

you'd be surprised Molly

what if i was posting about a Sensitive Issue?

bananamam · 09/11/2011 18:52

What is this hover you speak of? Does it identify your previous names?

MollyintheMoon · 09/11/2011 18:51

Ah I see.

Nobody would ever remember a tag-line though surely!

tooearlymustdache · 09/11/2011 18:49

it follows you, like a bad smell Confused

the hover does i mean

MollyintheMoon · 09/11/2011 18:48

The message isn't appearing now under 'spotTheDifference' though. Still confused!

tooearlymustdache · 09/11/2011 18:46

i've NCed on this thread, see what happens

MollyintheMoon · 09/11/2011 18:44

I still don't get it Confused

Does the message not change when the name does?

spugglers.

If you hover over nicknames with your Cursor, some posters have little secret messages that appear.

ya'll get me?

tooearlymustdache · 09/11/2011 18:38

I agree

I once almost outed myself by the hovery thingy betraying me!

But joking aside, i think the hovery thingy should disable if you NC.

Luckily, mine too was on a pisstake jokey thread.
