MapleMomma

[grumpycakes]

I think I just had a stroke of brilliance for your sn.  Making maple syrup is called sugaring, right?  You should be SugarMomma!

Engelbert, that sounds genius.

Kind of on that same note, is there really a list of non-urgent suggestions to the admins? I can't find the thread (at least easily on mobile) with where to send them. I miss the predictive text when tagging.

What?  You don't like typing out EngelbertHumperdinck when you want to tag me?  LOL.  I actually feel like I read you can ask to be tagged as an abbreviation or version of your old sn instead of your whole name.  I'll look into that if I stick with this name.

That was tagging your original sn.

Cool, thanks. I'm such a nerd. I just did the Google for the do you like pina colada song b/c I thought EH sang the famous version. Nope, Rupert Holmes.

No kidding.  I wonder if it keeps your history of names forever.  Or just the previous one.

I think it's just your original SN.

Yup.

[grumpycakes]

Ooooh, if you hold the mouse over someone's sn, it shows their taggable name.

[DGM]

To be able to tag an abbreviation would be so convenient when on here nursing/one handed!

That statement alone is reason #56 I can't say (in a whispered tone)...probing. The nurse in me just can't.

[ellebeedub]

But what it MapleMomma wants to keep her name?

Ooh, I'm going to have to figure out how to create a taggable name, but DGM time is sadly over. I need to be a wife & mom now LOL.

@engelberthumperdinck

That was tagging your new sn.

[ovenrack]

Oh yeah doesn't work. Why don't all the new comments load when I refresh the page?! Grrrrr.

[SAK]

Wait don't you have to tag the name they signed up with, not what shows on the screen

And where does it show these taggings anyway?

[ovenrack]

SAK, yes, you tag the original permanent name, but the name that posts is the current screenname.

Well the most obvious solution is an old timey boxing match between the two Maples.  Winner takes the sn.

[pipsqueak]

Meh. It's easier to keep MapleMe and MapleMomma separate than it is to identify those who keep changing their screen names.

[ellebeedub]

Good point, Pip

That's not a bad idea!

Funny story, several years ago I was chaperoning a mission trip for teen girls with a gal a bit older than me (who was very tan). She earned the nickname"Brown Sugar Momma" and I was given the nickname "White Sugar Sista"

This is coming from someone who knows pretty much nothing about the inner workings of an internet forum...but my guess would be that they need a "master list" of what account gets notified when a tag is made.  It's probably not easy to keep both current and original name on the list  without double notifications so they had to pick one.  Original is probably easiest.  I think current would be better for privacy reasons though.  Think of those ladies that sign up with a real name.  Even when they change SN, people can still see original when hovering to tag.

Wait stoney is no longer grumpy. Seriously?

I'm experimenting.  I feel so free here.

It doesn't change in the app

Yeah.  It doesn't tag you with the new name, either.

I'm so glad you said this. I've been lost for the past two pages.

[Stringy]
