MNHQ- after some pootling about, I seem to have worked out that your status is applied retrospectively to recent name-changes.

Tell me, where does that leave us when we post on bumsex on sensitive topics with a name-change?

If somebody hovers over the namechange days later and sees something fabulously witty that just happens to match what BitOfFun has on her status today, the whole privacy thing is going to fall apart, isn't it?

Hmm, erm, I dunno
To paraphrase Baby's Dad in Dirty Dancing:
When I dunno, I say I dunno
Lemme see if I can find out. Thanks for pointing that out.

BitOfFun you're quite right about this, we needed to change the way it works. Not being technical am not sure quite how complicated the change is, so in the meantime KentuckyFriedPenguin's solution sounds like a good stopgap. We will let you know soonest when a real fix is likely to come.

Many thanks for pointing it out.

Status updates should only relate to your current nickname now (unless I'm not as powerful as I thought )

Thanks so much for the input ESSENCEOFJACK and Bitoffun .
