I wish to remove my real name from posts etc. I have tried through tools in OE and ticked the relevant boxes to not display my name but it still appears

If you're going to use OE to post and not the website forum:
Tools>Accounts>Mail Account>Properties. Change your name there.

Step by step instructions to set up a newsgroup using OE.

Or:

Almost everything you could think to ask:

It is highly recommended that you enter a fictitious e-mail address
when setting up an account to avoid receiving Spam or worse. Ex.
. Your real address is not needed to post to a
newsgroup.

Have you tried going to the tools menu and click default homepage. This should display your desired homepage. If not try typing in your HTTP// WWW address and try that. Also many home pages can be set from the actual site by using CONTROL B keys. Hope this
helps

Hi,

In OE, click on tools >> accounts and flip to the 'News' tab. Double click on the desired news
server where you want the name/email address change reflected. On the general tab, you can edit the
name/email address info. I hope this helps you.
