Unfortunately I'm now back on my old account using my old name CATTYBIRD a name I deeply regret ever choosing g to use. Anthology as I said I am very glad to be back on thecatsite.

Welcome back.
Had you created a "new account" or something?

My Kindle had not recognized my old account until I got help with it.
Why can't you keep the new account, is that a rule or something? You weren't trying to hide the fact that it was you. I'm kind of glad you are Cattybird because I recognize you with that name, sorry you don't like it though.
I agree with SW. I recognize you due to that username

Apparently you can't have two accounts on thecatsite. And no as you said I wasn't trying to hide who I was. I think it's a crying shame we can't change our names if we want to.
I'm on a couple of other message boards and I think all it takes is to ask one of the admins to change the username.

No, not true on here.
If we could change names, I would be the first in line. :lol3: I wish I would have put more thought into my name when I chose it. I would prefer some form of Karen. :dk:
Anyway, any account name changes have to go through Anne, and she has changed a few before, but normally only in special cases. If a new member with only a few posts realizes that their username reveals their real identity (such as an email) or they made a typo, then it's usually not a problem. It gets to be a problem when it is a longtime member with a lot of posts. We get to know each other by usernames. Your problems, cats and their problems, etc. are all associated with that name. For continuity we can't allow changes. I can't imagine how confusing it would be if we did! We would all have to be like Prince and have a user title under our name that was "the member formally known as...". :lol3:
Anne has allowed name changes before in extreme cases, related to safety and privacy.
I use the same username everywhere, but in cases where I've seen name changes, the user typically posts a new introduction thread.No, not true on here.

I have a ton of names I use, depending on the forum.....
Even around here and other forums where I use Nebula, it generally gets shortened to "Neb" - but I am open about my name as well-- Mel And yes, if I could change my username... lol I would have it Sarabi

I wouldn't mind changing my user name here. When I signed up here I wanted something that wasn't associated with me at all because I was being stalked by a hoard of sick/wacko gamers. They new the user names I tended to use and would search me out and harass me wherever I posted. So when I signed up here I picked something completely different.
My name is not "Natalie", but because it is my user name here many people call me Natalie.
I have another user name that I use specifically for art-related sites.
I had 2 user names that I used for gaming sites. I have since retired them.
