Our real names (optional of course) next to forum name/picture

[armadillo]

I went browing on another forum and they showed the real names under the picture/forum name to the left of each post. I thought it might be a good idea to add that field there for us too. It would be blank for whomever has not completed their real first name in their profile.

I like the idea!

[Neville]

great idea

[Gwenz]

gd idea!

Yeah, all the more that my delete-happy finger can then freely remove the what's your name thread.

Neville, I really love the idea of having the ability to call people by their first name, rather than their forum handle, so I really like you thread, but perhaps this is another way of doing it?

[Tazmiche]

I'm ok with that too

No-one would ever guess my name from my forum ID, so it would be a great idea! lol

Great Idea, although everyone knows my name since I type it at the end of every post. :P Natalie

Although I doubt anyone would have trouble with mine, those that do have rather ambiguous forum names could just put what they would like to be referred to as in their signature.

If you go into your profile (button on top of page) and then click on "Forum Profile Information" there is a "personal text" field where you can enter your name. Will that work or am I not understanding what you're asking for?

yep, that works fine!

[Marc]

I guess I need to put my name there for clarification.

[armadillo]

OK, I've done it now (profile info/personal information). That works. Thanks, Mike.
