Click on ''My Account details'' on the left hand side of the screen. Enter your password. Then you can change your first name, surname, and birth name. Scroll down the end of the page, and click on save. Then click on ''My homepage'' on the lefthand side of the screen, and go to the boards. I hope this helps. :-)

Joseph, When you're ready to change your name, just delete your original name, and replace it with the one you want, exactly as you've printed it on your thread. scroll down to the bottom of the section, and click on 'save'|

Hi Joseph, Jeff from Lancs sounds good. I used to come from Lancs but now I have been moved to Merseyside by the 'powers that be'. I still consider myself a Lancashire Lass though. Beryl x
