to let you know that im HelenaDove and have had to start again under anew name cos MN page gives no other option...

[LaurenDemeter]

when switching to a new device..

I had to try logging in again as someone new AGAIN because that was the only option AGAIN as old laptop has died. Unless DH can save it that is it. MN accepted the same password on the new account. . When i did try to post under new name i just kept gettin g the OOPS message. This has gone way past being funny. Ive had no problem with facebook or twitter in switching to the new device.

When i went up to Register or Sign In the only option was to Register There were no other screen options

Looks like unless DH can fix my own laptop and it possibly stays logged in i will not be able to access my EIGHT year old account and watchlist.

Ive also had to hop back to an old e mail account which Talk Talk have now put a limited time on to even get back here Quite frankly i dont know why i bother. I am NOT willing to micro manage this. I get quite enough of that in RL This site seems to have problem after problem after problem IT wise and i am utterly utterly sick of it.

If this is a sign that my time here is over then so be it. Im willing to accept that rather than pissarse about like this.

Ive had some good times on here though. But maybe this is a sign that its time for me to find somewhere else.

I had same problem a few weeks ago.

Yo @LaurenDemeter I will look out for your new name. We both started threads about Grenfell, yours was much more erudite. I wish you love and biscuits and gin and damson jam.

All of you are double spaced between paragraphs on my browser

And i now have two accounts on here from two diff e mail addresses but with the same password.

Of course you can have the same password with different accounts. Many people can have the same password.

You can have different accounts with different email addresses but apparently it can flag you up as a potential troll or sock puppet if you use them both.

Ive switched devices many times and not had a problem but I never use Chrome.

Of course you can have multiple accounts under different emails with the same password. I am sure there are 1000s of people who use qwerty123 or password12 but the account would be linked by the email address, the website wouldn't give a stuff over the password.

Why would you even do it though? It's such bad practice.

It doesn't matter. The point is that you can. The OP seemed to think it was odd.

Reading this, I think I know what your problem was. Is an issue with desktops/laptop views yes.

When it looks like the pop up window is only giving you the option to register a new account, you click on the tiny hyperlink at the bottom that says something like go back to options and you can sign in normally from that new window. Think that was all you had to do.

Hi Helena!

I just wanted to say that I think this site would be poorer for not having you here, I don’t always agree with your views on everything, but you really an articulate and passionate poster who raises awareness of things which should be in the public eye and should be talked about, giving people a voice.

Please do stick around !

I can't see the double spacing, I also can't see why you or anyone else cares so much.

If you had made your name similar to the old one, anyone who "knew" you would have figured out who "you" were.

Making a big fuss like this is really weird, you clearly have tickets on yourself op.

Tickets?

I had the same problem as you a few months ago, OP.

Can't you name change to HelenaDoveagain?

@AliceLittle
How have you been able to delete your account if you can't log into it?
Oooh good point

I guess I can guess the politics of those saying take a break

I haven't said it, but you what lol?!
Thought I'd seen your name before, are you usually on feminism board?
With some of the names of posters replying, that'd make sense.
I see my trying to help post asking questions about your log in have been ignored, maybe I'm not royalty enough lol.

Hey helena

Sorry you’ve had to change your name

I’ll try and remember you are now lauren....is there i dove emoji somewhere

🕊

OooOh yeah

Ooh, here's another one turned up lol.
With some of your responses about politics etc, are you sure you haven't been banned/suspended?
Genuine question.
Why would you not just come back with IAmHelenaDove or HelenaDove2here so people knew who you were?

How have you been able to delete your account if you can't log into it?

Oooh good point

She said she managed to get into it on her old laptop but it was on its last legs. She deactivated the account from there.

These are the Reddit people I read about on another thread, huh?

How depressing.

I'm guessing all the snide little posts are to do with the fact that if any of them started a thread like this no one would give a shiny shite.

Keep waving at them, Helena.

Reddit people if we're not suitably fawning or asking questions?!
Oookay lol, really not (I don't even "do" Reddit" ) but this thread is starting to make a lot more sense now.
(pulls up chair for next conspiracy theory)

Don’t go! As previously suggested, can you be HelenaD0ve or a similar name?

Like many posters helena is on a lot of different boards

I particularly remember her for her passionate political posts

So im glad she’s not leaving

Oh I recognise you. Always start interesting posts/topics but then the OP is just one long (long, long) copy and paste from another site/article.

Hear, hear Rufus.

Let us fawn together.

Let us fawn together

Now im fairly good at prancing

I see the fawning word quite a bit on mumsnet.....shame its evolved from its actual meaning

her passionate political posts
Ah, seeming likely I'm right then lol.
I still don't get why if you want to be recognisable you wouldn't just change to Helena2 or something though?
Change your name to HelenaDove and ask in Site Stuff why you can't log in on your old account?
Maybe flag it up or report this OP to MN so they can investigate for you instead of us all guessing?

HelenaDove2 that should say

Maybe she just wanted to chat about it?
