Members name;

[hawkeye10]

I would like to see members first name posted where you don't have to go to another page to get it. Are y'all as lazy as me? What do you think?

[dgman]

The easiest way is if everyone put their first name on a signature line at the bottom of their page, but that's not going to happen!

i don't think there is any other way without clicking on their profile page, and even then, they may not have their name listed.

I agree. But more than that I wonder why people don't put their name in the signature.

Dan you and I do that but most people don't. It looks like that could be put tin 

[Travis]

The previous version didn't work like that either.  You had to go to their profile to see their first name.  I think the best place to put it if you want it on your posts is to have it in your signature as others have suggested.  You can set up your signature in your Account Settings.

Personally, I sign all my comments and remarks with my actual name, you can see what I do at the end of this comment.

I guess I don't understand why anyone who posts here wouldn't want to put something down as a signature.   I don't give a hoot if it is their actual name of not.   They should put something down so we are not calling them hey you. LOL  JMHO

[Scrappile]

You don't have to call them "hey you" you can call them by their user name.  Some people just are private and that should be their choice, which it is.  But if they list it in their profile, and their profile is not blocked I don't see why they wouldn't put it in their signature.  Their choice.

i had no idea i could in my profile ,thanks

[wombatie]

I have my name in large red letters in the signature and I still finish my posts with Marg out of habit more than any other reason.  I like it when people use their names it's more personal and family.

Paul like Stoney said it doesn't have to be your real name. I have no idea if Al is your real name.

Using names makes all of us feel like we are friends.

[Denny Knappen]

I used my real name as my user name.  On another forum, my user name is Sandy Oaks and everyone called me Sandy.

[poupster2]

Playing Devil's advocate here!  but some people want to stay anonymous.  And that is the the whole point of a Forum!

You can post without being identified!

Christian.

[Scrappile]

Well, Christian, I certainly agree that some people want to stay anonymous, and that is their right.   I disagree that that is whole point of a forum.   In my opinion, the whole point of a forum is to have a place where people from all over the world that have like interests can gather and discuss and share.  Whether they are anonymous or not is of no consequence.

I totally agree with what you just said Scrappile and a place to share and discuss same Interest, You can do that Identified or anonymous.

Its a personnel preference. Not mine !

[rdatelle]

Well not to sound dumb or anything but how do you get your name in there. I've been looking but can't seem to find how to do it. I would love to add my name.

[Sparkey]

I also have my name in the signature.

Iam in the same boat !

[rdatelle]

Rusty, how do you get your name in there.

[Travis]

You can add a signature in your account settings.  Click the pulldown menu next to your name in the upper right corner, then choose Account Settings.  Then you can click the Signature tab to create your own signature.

Or you can take a shortcut and use this link:

[Scrappile]

Click on you username at the top right corner on  this page

In the drop down menu click "Settings"

On the left side of the screen that appears under "Overview" click "Signature"

Keyin what you want as a signature and save

 

And Travis can type faster than I can!!

[danny]

I have Always signed my Forum name, but just followed Travis link and added it to the Signature line.  Now I want to see if I did right.  Danny  :-}

I sign many of my posts with my name, but I think I just added a signature.
