Go to Edit/View Details and change your forename and surname to whatever you want it to be for e.g. i was logged on as Patricia MacPherson and changed my forename to Tricia and my surname to in Old Kilpatrick, simple when you know how xx Tricia

Hey guys, I've just changed mine (I hope anyways) do you still leave your maiden name the same or do you wipe that out?

A question- When you change your display name, does that apply to the name that's displyed when you contact 'matches' too? I'd quite like a 'nom de plume' for the boards, but a more sensible name for contacts. I've noticed this with others who've contacted me, but I don't know how it's done! Anyone enlighten me? Bx

If you don't want readers to know your birth surname, then put a full stop or anything else you wish instead of the surname.
