HI Emilly,
Thanks for the welcome! I'm learning how to navigate slowly but haven't found out how to use my name rather than a DAMNED NUMBER !
I don't care if it's my nickname or real as long as it isn't a number.
I think numbers are too formal and have to log on in work using one.

smiley - sorry..for the delay in replying..I've not been around for a few days..

Changing your number to a name is easy..&..you've already been where you need to go to do it..

click 'Preferences' like you must have done to add (twptaff) to your name..simply delete it all & give yourself anyname you want..well within reason..&..within house rules..smiley - laugh..

Hope that helps..anything else..just ask..&..hopefully..I won't take so long to reply next time..smiley - magic..
