This is how I do it. Go back to the 'Topics' Talk homepage and click on the link in the intro paragraphs, copied here...."You need to be a member of mumsnet, and have a "chat nickname" to use the board. If you are already a mumsnet member you can check or choose your nickname HERE." It instructs you on how to go about changing there.

This is a link to that page. Fill in your current details, to allow you access to your 'profile'. Once you're in you can change as many times you wish

Thanks WSM

Festivefly · 17/12/2003 18:25

N0 you don't have to change anything apart from the new name, have a look at the top of the form when you have pressed update, it might say nickname already in use

charliecat · 17/12/2003 18:26

nope it doesnt, i will try myself again

charliecat · 17/12/2003 18:28

tryed again no luck it just refreshes the page without changing anything

charliecat · 17/12/2003 18:29

once ive typed in what i would like changed after ive pressed refresh it just comes up the same page with no changes made

Festivefly · 17/12/2003 18:29

Step 1 delete your chat nickname
Step 2 type in christmascat
step 3 press update
step 4 go back to chat and use it

charliecat · 17/12/2003 18:29

melsy · 17/12/2003 18:29
