if you want a "special" board name, with symbols for example you cant do that in the community box.
BUT if you enter it where your REAL name is, it CAN be done.

ps dont forget to "save"it afterwards

Yes Bob you're right it can be done or should i say could be....as that was where my Urns were


Then i got locked out of the site twice & Estelle had to sort it out for me...So i'd say on that one don't do it there...do it in the Community bit like Mo has said
