	I still think that for the moment the Jackie asking about Irene Moscow should delete her post from this thread. Please do that if you are reading this Jackie number two. Kath. x

Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 2,468 Send Message	With the new system, you need to put your board name in 'community name' in your account details, or it will use your christian name only (no surname) as your posting name. This could get confusing as, obviously, a lot of people share the same christian names. Angela PS judging by the membership number the second Jackie is very new to the site.

	In that case why has the second Jackie added to this thread and not started another of her own - unless she is new and doesn't know how to use the boards. This could be very confusing. Kath. x
