Fellow MNers did YOU know that MN has a lovely sparkly new function that only a genius could have thought up?

[MamaG]

If not - hover over my name (with your mouse, unless you can actually hover)

if there is a thread hanging around with me as mumofmonsters, i will check that.

yes the status updates follow you from name to name

Damn, not gonna do that, it'll mess up my trolling

What? Where??

OMG Yogini you are RIGHT!

Abort! Abort!

I have chosen mine in accordance with a judgement made of me on MN. I rather think it suits me . Non ?

Well done whoever thought of it I like it

how very facebook

No, not me ruddy I abhor FB and all it stands for .....

bump for lulu

MG - love the thought that someone might actuall be able to hover .
I too hate FaceBook, and Facebooishness, so - no thanks,

Yes, it will follow every namechange you do and every time you change it all your previous status' vanish.

Which is faintly irritating but still quite funny.

Brilliant.

now. how do I do that then?

How? how? how? how?

Eccentrica Go onto My MN - then Registration Details - Status is there on the list underneath email and password

My Mumsnet -log in- Registration details- box just under your current nickname

Ah yes. Has it worked?

Now have to think up something witty and erudite.

Testing....

I can't see the point, why would anyone bother to do this?

aha

What if, er, quite a long time ago (like a coupla years) you posted an Embarrassing Truth about yourself under another name? Will it go retrospectively back to all old namechanges on ancient threads?

Rockbird, you can't have tea on Atkins? Screw that!

Yes Dorothea. Unless you de-reg'd and re-reg'd I think.

I just checked an old name and there's no status showing up on it.

I wonder if it's just names since the status thingy started then?

Dorothea you're probably alright then!
