Tech, I'm puzzled...

I attempted a namechange the other night but MN broke and I wasn't able to post any more that evening.

Anyway I namechanged and posted on the same thread, I've read the whole thread and someone posted with the same name as mine on the previous night. Was there a fault? It was on the "strike" thread. 11/9

I feel used - like in the film "Ghost"

I was BillyElliotsDad

Hi - no idea why this happened but will let the tech team know. Someone will be in contact in due course, but possibly not for a day or so.

Sorry, seem to be having a day of "senior moments"

It looks like we have posts from
BillyElliot,
BillyElliotsDad and
BillyElliottsDad

i.e. minor spelling differences. There is only one member on each name tho.....

What I mean is I don't think there is anything wrong. I think BillyElliotsDad (one t) saw a post from BillyElliottsDad (two ts) and thought that someone else was using her (his?) name, whereas in fact no-one was....... iyswim....

This brings back memories of those halcyon days where JeremyVile and I were one and the same. JV hated loved it!

MarsLady · 15/09/2007 13:36

Ooh whilst you're there tech... someone asked a question that I also wanted to ask. How do I get those lovely bold dots in the thread title?

Many thank wondrous Tech!

JeremyVile · 15/09/2007 13:36

MarsLady · 15/09/2007 13:37

JeremyVile · 15/09/2007 14:53

MamaG - I have looked back and I think it was you who was Billy Elliots dad?

Did you really choose that nickname or was it a JeremyVile/Marlady incident.

MamaG - if you did choose that nickname then we seem to be on the same wavelength and I would advise you to seek medical help. (you really don't want to be similar to me, no siree)
