How do I post anonymously?

I'd like to start a thread without using my normal username. I can't see how to but I've seen some from 'anonymous user'

You can't post anonymously, but you can namechange by going into your settings.

GossamerGirl · 18/06/2024 10:25

Go into Settings and you'll see the option to change your name.

BarcardiWithGadaffia · 18/06/2024 10:38

Anonymoususer will be the user name, just change yours to anonymoususernumber2 or actually any combination of letters/numbers not already used

Hi @SouthCoastShell

As the others have helpfully said, yes, you're able to start a new thread with a different username. Just go to Settings and your account page - https://www.mumsnet.com/settings/account, type in a new name and hit the Save button. That name will then be registered to your account and you can use either name for future posts.
