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.

Sorry - but I just don't see this double spacing thing people are referring to!

Me neither. I'm laying in bed squinting at my phone to see a difference and can't

I can’t see any double spacing either. The posts are formatted the same as everyone else’s.

Can you change your name to HelenaDovehere or something so people recognise you?
Doesn't help with your history & saves.

Doesn't help with your history and saves
True, your history of posting would disappear with a new account, never thought of that.
OP was worried that people wouldn't recognise her though so HelenaDovehere would show who she is without this strange thread and all the guessing what's happened

Hi @LaurenDemeter, your thread was flagged up to us and we're just dropping you a mail now in case you need any help with this.

OP was worried that people wouldn't recognise her though so HelenaDovehere would show who she is without this strange thread and all the guessing what's happened

No need to worry about it, her posting style is very distinctive, so she would be recognised quite easily.

Also, whatever the name she registered with she can always NC to something HelenaDove-y. Anyone can do it.

her posting style is very distinctive, so she would be recognised quite easily

I find thats the case with a few posters, of course it would be easy to change posting style...but hard to remember longterm

Not that helana/lauren wants to do that obviously

Ooh, here's another one turned up lol.

Another what?

soup

Person who posts on feminism board as well as baby names, aibu, brexit, chat etc

Im assuming...but ya know what happens when you assume!!!

I also can’t see the double spacing, neither on my laptop nor the app. So weird.

Hi Helena/Lauren!
I don't think we've ever interacted, but I've often seen your posts and appreciated your compassionate stance on many issues.

Oh bugger,another name change,I really like being able to recognise poster's names (like the old days)

That's weird though because I have a new phone and just logged straight in with no issues.

I see no double spaces , just formatted normally

St ignore the twats, HelenaDove, always breathless to jump in to be anide so they can rush back to the 'mothership'.

A waste of oxygen, don't give them any.

Me neither. I'm laying in bed squinting at my phone to see a difference and can't confused

Desktop view and smartphone/tablet view are different. Browsers on portable devices will re-adjust the font to fit the size. On a laptop or desktop, you would see the spaces between words.

@MNHQ Ive deleted my old account and will use this one. Its easier . Old laptop was flickering and dying once DH got it working so i didnt have long to make up my mind

SO WAS ABLE TO DELETE OLD ACCOUNT BEFORE LATOP DIED.

Maybe try reading the thread to the two posters who were asking.

"Doesn't help with your history & saves"

This did piss me off but ive got a good memory And can pretty much remember what threads im on And i can always search my old username. I didnt want people to cry troll if i got on a thread with a new username Or be accused of being some sort of perv if i post about a medical problem on here Maybe if some werent so eager to cry troll...................

to all those who have been nice. Its been a tough week Ive had a couple of things happen in RL so i didnt need this on top.

Maybe try reading the thread
Wow, Ok, was only trying to help. NO NEED TO SHOUT

have as good a weekend as you can love. I have no idea why people think it's worth their while being mean. MN should have a bloody ignore button.

No need to shout WHILE SHOUTING You're a goady one, aren't ya?!

On a laptop or desktop, you would see the spaces between words.

I can't.

only trying to help

How is trying to pull the OP up on a supposed inconsistency trying to help?

Well according to the Reddit thread about this thread its the app.

Soitseemstheproblemisonthere

The shouting was just matching the tone of the OP getting snippy with people trying to help (thought that's what she wanted to do, thought are we shouting at people now, IK then ) - ignored original helpful posts and just came on being snotty.
Maybe if I'd thrown a few more huns or don't goes! in my question about log in etc to try and get to explanation wouldn't have got the snippy SHOUTING
Comes across you didn't want help in first place, just fawning.

Yes! I see the gaps on the App!

My life is complete...
