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.

I havent got my old account back Just to clarify. Ive just managed to NC on this one thanks to Dangers advice.

but yes i get what you mean Perking.

< waves > Excellent to see you have (almost) retrieved your old hat & moustachio

I appreciate your posts on Grenfell and social housing

Aridana & other pp - Extra spacing is between words, looks like this:

Oh my fucking christ the girly crush crawling is hilarious. You people have no dignity

Thank you, @BigChocFrenzy!!!!

Oh my fucking christ the girly crush crawling is hilarious. You people have no dignity

What is your area of expertise?

Helena is well up on social housing issues.

Oh my fucking christ the girly crush crawling is hilarious. You people have no dignity

And you people are extremely unpleasant and acting like bullies.

Girl fans? I've never seen more sycophantic drivel than on reddit. If this board is so offensive to you, why are you (and your cohort), never off it?

If you had dignity yourself, you'd have it for others and wouldn't be picking on a poster for the spacing on their post... and you even need 'backup' for that? Pathetic.

Oh my fucking christ the girly crush crawling is hilarious. You people have no dignity
Don't mistake kindness for weakness.
Girly crush ffs.
Has anyone been kind to you without you thinking it is all pink and fluffy.

Sorry to be the voice of scepticism...

BUT

How do we really know that this is the real Helena?

Not so long ago, we had an imposter for Usual using the uppercase i for the L.

If MNHQ haven’t been able to sort it, is there a legitimate reason for that?

Will the real HelenaDove please stand up?

They have e mailed me more than once about this on the same e mail i originally had since joining in 2011 and i have replied each time. I had to go into settings and change it to a gmail address though because Talk Talk have informed us that some of the old e mail accounts are going to be disabled.

I had already changed it over on my old MN account . So after deactivating that one i waited a while and then changed this account to the newer gmail address.

Because i had already changed my old account to the gmail i THEN had to join as Lauren via old e mail address so i could post on here and MN could email me.

Considering i have a DH who used to work for Marconi as did his father before him dont you think i could have worked out something better.

I asked MN to leave things as they are because i dont want any more messing about I get enough of that in RL thanks.

Are you new @AlorMy ?

I also started bumping certain threads including ones i started so they appear in my watchlist again.

Who?

Who cares if someone "impersonates" another user on an anonymous forum?

Why put very personal information on here and make yourself easily identifiable in the first place?

There are some very over invested people on this thread.

You don’t have to bump old threads for them to appear in your watch list, just click on “watch this thread” and it’s done.

But they don't appear in 'threads I'm on', do they? That's what I use to go back to threads I was posting on, not 'threads I'm watching'.

No, but you still have all of them and they stay watched longer than they do in threads I’m on.

Welcome back @HelenaDove, here's a song that foresaw all the shit we're going through.

This could be anywhere, this could be everywhere. DD2 prefers Cesspools In Eden because 'Klaus' bass is amazing on that song'.

Who cares if someone "impersonates" another user on an anonymous forum?

Well, the poster cares when the imposter goes around behaving like an utter twat whilst appearing to be them. Obviously.

I too enjoy reading your posts HelenaDove, and this thread makes complete sense to me! Some people are being very unnecessary! Really like when people use the same username because it’s more of a community that way
