who have you been in the meantime?

vindscreenviper · 29/09/2015 18:13

I've been playing around with my name on another thread and I've just noticed that my little 'floater' has disappeared. I didn't namechange or de-reg during the unpleasantness, and it still shows in my profile.

Where has it gone MNHQ?

ps. welcome back Mummylin

Mummylin · 29/09/2015 18:14

I was somehow deregged during the hacking fiasco so had to sign up again and used my old name but added " is reborn" but MN have given me back the name I have had for the last nine years . It was a genuine mistake by HQ but they have done their best to put it right. My pm,s are gone and my original history, but that's ok.

It used to be that when you hovered over my user name you got a little bit of Tom Waits, now it just says 'vindscreenviper.

What kind of beastly poo-head steals a persons Tom Waits lyrics Sad

Is that on new then ? I was on classic but of course I have had to change to new so didn't know about the hovering thing

OP posts:

I'm still on classic, and I'd had it about a year I think.
I'd just taken it for granted and now it's gone, I'm so neglectful that I don't even know when it stopped popping up.

Mummylin · 29/09/2015 18:40

I would like to of kept to classic, but it's not possible now. I'm just glad to at least get my name back. It's been such a faff During all the hacking stuff I couldn't even post for days as of course my account had been deregged ! It was so annoying when I could read stuff and not post. Especially when I could see someone say " I wonder where mummylin is" I felt like saying I'm here ! Locked out . Never mind . It's done now. I have to say I do like the bookmark thing, I didn't have that before

Is the hover thing something you have to select yourself ? Have you looked in your settings to see if you can change anything ?

OP posts:
vindscreenviper · 29/09/2015 21:20

It's in the 'My profile' page Mummylin, there is a space for you to type a 'user status'.
I wonder if it's just me or if it's gone for everybody?

Mummylin · 29/09/2015 21:27

I have just looked on mine and there is indeed a space where it says that. So maybe you can just write in there again ?

OP posts:
vindscreenviper · 29/09/2015 21:29

It's still written in there, just not showing up anywhere else Sad

Sorry for the massive merail

Mummylin · 29/09/2015 21:50
