Please................as a matter of some importance...........revert to the system whereby duplicated board names are not allowed. When I joined Genes Connected, as it then was, one's board name had to be unique. |

If it is your birth name I don't suppose there is much they can do now |

So back in 2003 didn't the board names come up as full names e.g 'John Smith' |

They could add a number to their name. So you could have John1, John2, John3, etc. |

Apparently Board Names (Sitename in GR terminology) DO have to be unique. I have just tried to change mine to 'Jax' and it came up with the message |

Well I think it would be good if board names were unique. |

You can join this site under any birth name you like even if it is not your real name as we have seen going by some of the names in the trees... Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or a character out of Harry Potter ect...... As these are supposedly birth names they don't need to be changed when using the boards, which really they should be so people don't get confused with who is who. |

Very true Sylvia.... But if using a tablet as I am now, there is no way of telling what the membership number is..... If there is, I haven't found it yet :-D |
