    I've tried numerous times too but no luck.  Sometimes it says I don't have authority to do this, and now it's saying that usernames must have letters numbers, underscores etc.  Any suggestions?

    @Busy-Lizzie. Both of your house areas are in your sig.  dordogne and Norfolk 
    Yes, Lyn, I know, I put them there a while ago as I couldn't put them on top like everyone else.

    Have you tried the old trick of logging out completely and then coming back through the main site @Songbird-1 ?

    @Songbird-1 I expect you are using a phone. Doesn't show on a phone. If you click on the 3 little dots top right you can get to a laptop screen, but it's very small, have to widen it with your fingers. It says "desktop site".

  • I had the permission problem over and over again so gave that up as a bad job so I changed my username instead. 
    After that I tried again to add my location just to see, it let me do it with no problems. 
    Nottinghamshire.

    I changed it over a year ago, I was sunflower then some numbers.

    I was sunflower on here for about ten years but I very really had time to look and/or post.

    Its only as SherwoodArrow that I have really posted anything 🙂.

    It isn't particularly necessary to state your location after your User Name.
    If asking a question where the location is relevant, then you include it in the post.  By the same token, if you are replying, a simple "I'm in ********** and this works for me" is often sufficient to begin the debate.
    We all know that whilst a General Location can help with whether you live North/South/East or West UK, the actual conditions even within a few miles can differ to a large degree.  Then you have Inland/Coastal/Rural/Urban/City not to mention those Forum members who live in mainland Europe, USA, Australia.
    As with aspect and soil, what you like and what time/pets/children someone has all helps but that usually comes to the fore in those posts when specifically asked for.
