I'm sorry to be a pain but wondered if there's a simple thing that can be done so people who have deregistered temporarily for whatever reason, are able to reclaim their name on return?

Why are names kept in a pile never to be used again...is there a time limit on it...etcetc.

Thanks ever so much if you can help x

I've checked this with the techs and the reason you can't get your name back is that it's stored against your Mumsnet registration number rather than your email. When people de register and then come back they get a new registration number, hence the lack of access to the old name.

Best option is not to deregister . Bit if folks need a break from Mumsnet as we all do from time to time, just take a break but leave your registration in place.

If you do deregister and want to come back, you can usually get your name with a slight variation on it eg a number or extra letter.

Does this help?
