hawkeye10 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 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? amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) 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.

Dan Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I agree. But more than that I wonder why people don't put their name in the signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 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.

Lucky2 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Personally, I sign all my comments and remarks with my actual name, you can see what I do at the end of this comment. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 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.

Scrappile Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 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.

wombatie Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 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. Marg hawkeye10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I used my real name as my user name. On another forum, my user name is Sandy Oaks and everyone called me Sandy. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poupster2 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 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. Dave Monk, wombatie and hawkeye10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 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: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/settings/signature/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
