	I had forgotten about our names! Am just not in a Christmassy mood I think! Do GR allow us to change these days? BCXX

	If people adopt a Christmas name can I please ask that they sign with their proper board name at least for a while. I think we usually wait until 1st December so I will look at mine which will be sparkling anninglos as usual. That is if it lets us do it.

	Just had a look to try and change my board name, but can't find the appropriate thingamejig. Agree with you Ann - I think it's best to keep our original board name with 'festive' additions. Being a hoarder (was reminded of that when I went up into the loft earlier!) I still have threads from last Christmas and, I have to say, Ann - you were 'Sparkling' on the 25th November 2009 lol! Can anyone please point me in the right direction for changing my board name. Thanks. Aww, Christmas Cake - aren't you going to have a Christmas board name :-)

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 2,312 Send Message	Wend If you go to the Community tab (next to messages) and on the drop down list choose Board Summary, and at the bottom of the list of boards you'll find the place to change your name. Mary

	Thankyou Contrary Mary - I've done it after 5 attempts. Everything I put up was 'username already taken' (eh? - I haven't seen them) until this one. ~~~~~~~~ to Christmas Cake :-) x

	If Gr wont allow your board name change, remember that you can include anything in the text of the posting.......only snag is you will have to paste it in each time you post........ Bob •.¸ (¯`•.•.¸ (¯`•.¸ChristmasCake¸.•´¯)¸.•¸ ¸.•´¯)¸.• Like that.........ok?
