Real Name

[Paul Arden]

Hi guys, you can now add your real name to your profile. If there are any other suggested fields you think I should add please let me know. Do you think we should force users to enter a ream name? Technically they could enter any name, but it may help eliminate some of the problems we had in the past, apart from which it's nice to know who we all are!

Cheers, Paul

Yes,

Should be mandatory IMO, as should location.

Cheers

great news ! from now on i'll be Frank Lopresti !

anyhow, pseudos suck. communicating without knowing a person's name isn't real communication, it's like talking to a wall.

cheers,

I'll use my pseudo as I use sms on all boards (or sms79 or sms1979 depending the length rules and reservation situation). I don't know if "trolls" will put their real names anyhow.

[Paul Arden]

Maybe not, but I'll make it a required field anyway.

Paul, I like the improvements to the forum, e.g. the Location displayed in the panel to the right of the post. Would adding Real Name to that panel be a compromise for people like Sakari and me who have registered using pseudo names?

The real name only appears when the user's profile is visited, not on the panel.
