For Anyone Interested - After being asked by a couple of people, and to save hijacking anyone's thread anymore than we already have (apologies), I am posting details on: 'How to Put Pretty Things in Your Name' Go to: Start All programmes Accessories System tools character map You'll need to go into, and have open, 'My Account details' (same as changing your name normally) Choose your symbol(s) press the 'select' button (on character map) Press the 'copy' button. (on character map) then right click and paste onto your name in 'My Account' details Once you have them in your name you can copy and paste them as much as you like. The better symbols are futher down the character map so just scroll down and play about until you get what you want. Have Fun!!! Snowdrops

Just testing... No - don;t like that one. lol Think I'll stick with just my name - but thanks for the tip!

Thankyou snowdrops, Think I am guilting of hijacking pipa's thread...sorry... But thankyou for the clear and easy instructions, even I could do it! ♫Sue♫ oops ...getting to confident! It doesn't work when typing in this little box! Sue

As you might have guessed, I haven't even worked out how to change the display name - do I have to tell it that whatever I wish to be known as is in fact my real name?

Just testing - yes it works, many thanks!

Hi Michael No, you don't have to have your real name on display or in your account details. On the left hand side (down the green strip) the third message down says 'My account Details' click on there then put in your password etc and then change away. If you don't like what you've chosen you can go back as many times as you like to change it. You can sign your replies/threads with either your pseudonym or your real name. Snowdrops

Hi Snowdrops, Thanks, tried that and it's still not working... never mind, since I'm not exactly in possession of the rarest of names there's not too much chance of anyone on here finding out who I am. Even if you know the year there's still over 100 to choose from. Michael

Hi Snowdrop I did mine thanks to you might change it later

testing

yes it worked Jim quite nice too

just testing!

Thanks, Snowdrops. Will give it a go.

Tain't working. I am going to sulk.

Yes, am doing that. All it is doing is pasting in some letters which I don't want.

Just trying.......yes

I am at work at the moment - will try again at home!!! Maybe the powers that be are stopping me doing it!!

Tried that one as well - I still just got the letters that I didn't want instead of the symbols. I think that I am doomed to have a dull name for ever.

Lets see if mine worked.......

Thank you, it's nice to be a Sue again, I hated having Susan on the board.
