I think the whole user name change is a bit rude! I dont think they handled that very well... there are some very angry users on the fb/babyexpert page
I wasn't sure last night but it's kinda growing on me now! Can totally understand why people aren't happy about their personal details being used as usernames~shocking call on BE's part that one! SuzMcH, they'd addded UK to the end of my ColaBottle and I wasn't keen so diddled it to make myself a yummy cola bottle
Suz - its like you've got a new surname McHuk! Sounds Scottish too! LOL
I don't mind it either. I can sort of see people being pee'd off over usernames but its easily change-able isn't it? But then I am lucky and mine hasn't changed (its connected to Y&YW account apparantely and I used different emails / accounts for that and BE so mine has stayed the same) so I am bound to NOT moan LOL.
Although I do think you should be careful with what you write because NOTHING is private on the internet - NOTHING! LOL
My username has been changed, they have used a photo when I didnt have ANY on this site other than those posted in threads which they should not be able to set as a profile pic, I removed any of them from here and from YYW a while ago.
They have even put up the DOB of my kids, which I was assured would be private when I was told to input it (for the old counter which has now been removed)!
I cannot change ANY of my details because they have changed my password and are saying its the YYW one, which was the same one as this in the first place so it clearly isnt the same one!!!!!!!
im not fussed tbh. lol. My name is the same though so i suppose Im a bit luckier. I dont mind the new layout, i'm sure i'll get used to it. Glad those damn adds have gone and all the things mnn said really. Just glad to see the regulars havnt left! xx
I have had to change my username slightly, and I am missing the file path being at the top of threads aswell as the bottome, but other than that I think I can cope quite well with the new format!
Only thing is I can no longer see photos at work, but I loke the new buttons and colours that have a greater contrast.
I think the way they've put peoples real names up is appalling. Glad I'm cautious about what I use to sign up on sites with tbh.. at least I only got the stupid UK added to mine.
Stephe - when you try and change stuff, just have a look at the section on the change profile page and make sure it doesn't have anything filled in on the 'change password' bit. I was trying to delete stuff on y&yw and it wouldn't let me as my password had changed (despite it working 1 min earlier) and I realised that it had something typed in there..deleted it and entered my pw at the bottom and it worked.
I'm annoyed about them making public kids dob's, and my wedding date/location but I've got rid of them now.. don't see why they need to do any of that.
On the whole the changes seem ok but I don't like picture signatures one little bit (no offence to those who've put them in) - I just find it highly annoying when threads are taken up by tons of pictures..especially if they are repeated through the post, takes longer to load, dread to think how long it'll take on my phone .. plus it makes it harder to sneakily check on forums when at work (not that I'm back at work till late next year lol).
I quite like it now I've changed my name back, but at least I got an email a few days ago with the fact that my newe username was my real name so just jumped on soon as it was back up and changed it.
but do you like that you have been registered with the other sites in this network and that your details (if not anymore) may be/will have been shown on those sites too??
Your details have been passed on to other sites even if you haven't registered with them - they will show any/all the info that is in your profile on here, inc DOBs and pics of your children!

The layout seems fine to me, I like that you don't have to submit your post a squillion times to reply hehehe!

I've tried everything, and am having no joy. Not getting a response from the ignorant people either.
Can't work out how they've held on to photos that were removed months ago.
