And why do I sometimes get .co.za on the end of the URL.

(Don't forget I'm still relatively new to these boards!)

Life is just full of great mysteries .......

Time for a tab, I think

jax Report 6 Nov 2010 19:22

I'm fairly new less than a year and have no idea why you get that not very puter literate really, think that means fag in northern speak so I will join you

.co.za at the end of a url is because the person is accessing the site through the south African thingy(cant remember name )as I do.I had loads of probs using this site through the uk one,so switched mainly to ZA.
UK one used to freeze on me constantly.

To change your board name click on community boards and scroll down to the bottom and its there.
Says Community name?
Used to be in My Account but they changed it..

To change your surname as we have,then you do need to go to My Account.

Hide your real name and show a friendly alias when posting to the community boards

You cant hide your real name from people with just a board name as it shows up when you click on the persons board name,so that is a load of cobblers.
To hide your real name you need to go to "my account"and enter ficticious maiden name and married name etc

Yeah found it think I used that the first time I changed my name it was the surname I wanted to get rid of so as you say need to go to my account for that
