Posting under different names, but posts still all highlighted - can you stop it please?

Hi MNHQ
Very occasionally I post under a different name to discuss personal issues. My DH and a lot of my friends know my usual name so sometimes I need a little anonymity.

The problem is that posts under my more private username are still highlighted in bright pink and appear under Threads I'm On, so very easy for DH to stumble across.

Would it be possible to separate usernames so that each name has it's own unique identity and they don't all come up as highlighted or under Threads I'm On?

If not, I guess I'll have to register a whole new account for those more private posts.

Hi AnnieLobeseder,

Please don't set up a second reg - this isn't something we allow and causes alarm bells to ring at our end!

I'm afraid for now, your options are: log out at the end of a session or when away from the computer; turn the highlighting function off; or (my preferred option ) use the Classic view, which offers none of the pesky highlighting and such [Luddite emoticon]

Thanks

@LineRunner

MNHQ, could I de-register and then re-register with a brand new name?

Hmm. Well yes. This is usually known as flouncing

You can do this but you won't have access to any of your old nicknames so we really wouldn't recommend it. Any probs, please don't hesitate to contact us at mumsnet dot com Thanks
