I'm not usually this unhelpful.

It must be the heat.

BOF
I aren't! Because I didn't ask if IBU.

However, I accept that I might have been just a tad rude. And for that, MNHQ, despite the fact that it's taken me a while to work it out and even though I hate you for making me engage my brain I apologise and proffer Flowers Flowers

It's not MNHQ. It's you.

Now I can see that under 'your nickname history' I can click and find nicknames that I have used (or booked) in the past. BUT I can't see how I can dream up a completely new nickname, if I want to do that.

I'm sure there's a way to do this, and I'm just being dim, aren't I?

Yes, you are.

You need to go to My Registration and change it there.

And then send lovely MNHQ some Pimms for being rude Grin

OK, I've still got a problem. Perhaps it's just me, but what I mean is this:

I go to 'MyMumsnet'.

Then I get 4 options, among which is 'My account'.

I click on this and then I have a box saying 'email address'. Obviously, this box then gives my details.

The box under that says 'Username', and this gives my current username (i.e. trincomalee'). HOWEVER, I cannot then click on this username and change it.

I'm sure I used to be able to do this (i.e. click and change name).

I'm doing something wrong, I know!
