I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, I've been on mumsnet a while and posted a few times but have become a more regular user since getting the app!

My question is I see an awful lot of people saying they have changed their username for anonymity, I don't understand how that works, if I changed my username now, would it be like starting a fresh then? As in no one could see the things I'd posted under my previous name?

Also has something happened to cause this need for more security? I can't imagine anyone would be too interested from my posts trying to find out who I was in real life is this something that I should/people are concerned about?

TIA x

Hi Torchlight86,

As mentioned, MNers change their usernames regularly for all sorts of reasons, sometimes to protect identity, sometimes just for the craic.

Here's how to change it: www.mumsnet.com/info/faqs#NickChange

Bearing in mind, it's a bit glitchy at the moment - but tech are aware and on the case!
