Hi all,

Was wondering if people on boards.ie are allowed to create a new user profile with the profile name being xxxinsertnameherexx.com or xxinsertnameherexx.ie?

i.e with a .com or .ie ending?

Thanks

I think the helpdesk is the place to ask, OP.

I believe the current situation is that it's frowned upon as businesses should get the go ahead from the admins before doing it.
Start a thread in Feedback, under Sys, or mail hello@boards.ie if you're a business.
