I want to get in touch with a MNer but can't remember her new nickname......so I clicked contact poster on an old thread with her old name and.....

[LackaDAISYcal]

it says that there isn't a user with that nickname.

Is that because she has changed nickname so it's no longer active or because she has deregistered completely?

I think, LackaDAISYcal, it means she's deregistered. (Although she could, of course, have re-registered under a new name and come back since.)

D'ya want me to check with BigTech in the morning?

please

I do have contact details for her somewhere though , so no worries if she has deregged.

thanks helen

I think I have found it says that even if they have just namechanged - hang on I will try it outwith a namechanger that I know....

Ooh, maybe not, using the namechange I know (ie the name someone was but is not now) it says "XXXX has chossen not to accept CAT" so I am not sure what that means - at least I am consistantly unhelpfull - sorry

can I check with myself I wonder?

No, I have tried it with a few namechanges I know, the ones that are not current names say "not known" the ones that are current names don't IYSWIM, none of them are deregistered AFAIK.

I think it means that my missing MNer must have deregged

shame as she was a great support to lots of people on the miscarriage boards.

Lackadaisy, hello to you.
I have trying to find jules from the knickercheckers. I know she changed her name to snoopdog but no sign of her since Jan this year.

Not sure if she has deregged.

Maybe we could have a lost and found thread

possibly not but I could if you care to name change quickly?

ie I can search for lackadaisycal if you change to something else for a moment!

oops cross post! that's reassuring.

I'll try to find her, or at least a reference to her last known namechange.

try searching for daisybump or daisyboo

Done, it says "Sorry, we can't find a talk user called daisybump;. Click here to try again "

So that sounds good? I assume you just need to guess the namechange?

Could you post a "If you used to be XXX could you CAT me" thread?

I'll try that tomorrow KC.

thanks for your help

No problem, hope you find her

Or LackaDAISYcal, you could drop a mail to [email protected], explaining your prob and saying what the old nickname was - and we can see if can help you...

Oh, thanks helen

I'll do that tomorrow.
