Changing name back

4 replies

Anyone know how to change back to a previous username?

Can see some old threads that say you over type to desired name when writing the post. I can see that options for replies but not for a new thread… thanks!

Go to settings.

Hi OP

I believe we chatted off the boards - is this all sorted for you?

OnMakingMistakes · 27/01/2022 21:29

No, we didn’t. I’m not sure where I’m settings. I can see the list of prior user names but not how to switch to one of them?

I can see that I can overtype in the username box when replying to a message but can’t see this same setting when starting a thread?

Thanks

Hi there, @OnMakingMistakes. You can find your settings by going to My Mumsnet. In the settings, you'll be able to change your username in the account details section. You'll see your old usernames there, too, so you can just copy and paste whichever you like into the new username box and save the new settings.

Hope that helps - if not, let us know.
