How do I post here anonymously?

Without trying to create a new account?

I know you can change your username and think you can change it back later if you want to, but what's to stop people clicking on your username and seeing your username history?

Can anyone explain how it works please?

I thought only Mumsnet could see your username history.

Ibizabar · 18/11/2023 14:41

Other users can't see your username history.

No one can see your username history apart from you. If you change names, I will not be able to tell that you are the same person as Shittenshite, your current username.

If you change your name you appear as a completely new user, no posting history.

If you change your username, you can only view previous posts under the same name.
Far as I'm aware, your posts are connected to your username not to your account as a whole.
So you could change your username, post something, then change it back to your regular one?

Thank you all! I didn't realise other members couldn't see your username history. Very helpful 😊

Glad you've been reassured @Shittenshite - other posters are correct, only MNHQ can see your user name history. Thanks, everyone.
