SIT: I've changed my RC Name and....
« on: Saturday 20 May 06 22:18 BST (UK) »
Hi

Since setting up my SIT I have changed the name I use (didn't like the old one).

My query is, to change my name on the table to I have to delete all my surnames and rekey them.

I only ask as someone asked if I had several names to go with my numerous personalities (lol). ::)

Many thanks for your time.

I rather imagine you do, All yours are in your former name.

Hi Bob and other SITs

I added my surnames when I was using 'Gadget Applebiscuit' as my RC Name. Since then I've shortened it to just plain old 'Gadget'. I went to add a few extra surnames but it won't let me add them - says the chattername is wrong, although it let's me see my existing surnames  ???

Do I have to go back to GA before I add any names or what?

Gadget (once also Applebiscuit, user name = merched)

I've just gone in and tried again and it has let me add a surname. Now why was that   ???

Now I know:
