No longer needing to Name Change between threads

Sneakily done!
I do use many names depending on what I’m posting on, just to be sure that any professional advice that means I may be recognised by colleagues isn’t then linked to my posts re personal issues, It’s a huge help to prevent NC fails.

Is this going to be a permanent change or just a trial? I’d hate to be quickly posting and then realise it’s no longer working and I should have NC before posting!
TIA.

There's a thread exposing it 🙂

Explaining. Not exposing. FFS.

Hi @VeryLittleBrain it's a permanent change. If you've any more questions, please let us know.

Brilliant! Thanks for confirming Becky

Thanks for the link Soup I had somehow missed the info.
I was just checking it was permanent Cery, I think it’s a great idea.

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

I love love love this.

Having inadvertently puppeted before (and been shown the naughty step for it and for being a gobshite), this is most welcome.

Thank you flower.

Now, how are you feeling about my inner Nan being allowed a week long amnesty in Coronation Week?

I can beg prettily. 😈

I just discovered this and I came on here to say thank you, you geniuses, for doing this. I'm forever posting under two names and linking different user names. This saves me such a headache.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ❤

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

there is a NC fail on a a current thread, how is this possible? Are we going back to having to NC when posting on different topics to keep anonymous?

Ah that's my thread. I had the NC fail. Think it's because I'm using the mobile app. Apparently this update hasn't been implemented on the app.

thanks @CybermanAshad
I was just worrying that I would post on a thread without a NC automatically happening.
I think a colleague spotted me when I gave some professional info one time so I NC frequently now!
