    Hi Neil

    I agree, there should be a safeguard somewhere.

    It gives a feeling the program setup could be open to ID sabotage {hmm}

    Any other ideas anyone?

    Regards

    Kathy and Dave

  • Thanks Kathy,

    This is getting silly, and the technical people need to sort it out somehow. Your idea of being able to see a list of members names would seem to be the easiest to do.

    I have written to the other sparrow to ask him/her to consider changing the name.

    This is the third duplicated name in as many days.

    Cheers, Linda.

    No worries Sparrow.

    We are looking out for each other here

    Yes, IMHO a list of names is the next move for the mods/admin to consider.  I think it will be Monday before anything can be mentioned/done {hmm}

    Meantime just watch what is going on here {wink}

    Hi John

    It is mad, and there must be people on the outside of this site who are doing this on purpose now.  It is too coincidental to have so many duplications in such a short time

    I feel it is going to happen again unless we all watch out for each others profiles (of established people on the RSPB Forum)

    Hopefully the IP Addresses will be noted just in-case

    Regards

  • Has anyone contacted waxwing 2 over the name duplication ?  John, you must stay as waxwing. Sandy was quite happy to change from blackbird when I pointed out the situation to her. 

  • Ok I will try to contact the other "Waxwing"

    I am glad that Blackbird 2 changed her/his name to sandy. Bless them.

    Hopefully 'mentioned' new members will will accommodiate, and help us out here

    Would help a great deal {smile}
