    My Dad (Snap Tin) is not well. I registered on his behalf a few weeks ago as he is 88 and not used to IT stuff. I have had to type most of the stuff as he was saying it to me and he enjoyed it for a short while until he saw all the swearing that was going on. I told him it wasnt really nasty stuff but just banter but he is old school and didnt want kids who read this to read him swearing, as he did down the pit. He always says you can swear down the pit but NEVER in front of the kids. Anyway my Dad now spends most of his day in bed or sat in a chair downstairs and one of his pleasures is reading what people are saying about his beloved BFC. He wants me to write things under the name "Snap Tins Lad". Is that OK? How do you change the name? He has laughed at some of the film title things. Thankyou for that

    You can't change the name yourself as far as I know, only the admins can do it. Should be really simple though, so just wait until they see your post and it should be sorted.

    I buddied up with your Dad in his first few posts mate, total respect for his stories of mining and his dignified conduct on the board. Please send him my best wishes, hope he gets well soon and gets down the 'well soon too! :)

    Thanks for that. My Dad says we will win tomorrow. He feels it in his blood. Always optimistic. Always a Red. His optimism makes me laugh and cry at the same time given his current health.

    Don't let it bother you snap tin. I personally try not to swear in person, can't resist it at times in writing though. I wish you well. Hope your right about tomorrow too. You reds.

    I'll do the name change. Just confirm you have read this. So that your not wondering why you can't log in with your current username once changed.

    just confirm you want it changing to

    Hi

    I hope your dad regains his health. I cannot find a user named Snap Tin, so I can't change the name.

    You can however register Snap Tins Lad as a new user.

    Good luck

    I just presumed he meant he wanted this accounts name changing to snap tins lad.

    That's what I have done any way
