Is there anyway we can get our name where our truck info is under our avatar? I happen to notice that ssowners site has that and I kind of liked that! It gets people on here to learn some names and refer to each other that way too. After all we are a big family in a way right :thumbsup: what is a family without knowing names. Just thought I would throw that out there and I understand it can start to make that info section pretty long but one thing you can do if you want is have a dot or something next our name with a grey for offline or green for online. I mean there is room there and would be cool to have that.

Thanks, Sam

The signature area would be a good spot to put a name for those that want to do that. Just a thought.

But what happens if you have two people named Sam post above you with two opposite opinions? :raspberry:

Most people like to use that space for other things

I think it would be nice and easier also! Maybe the mods can do something like this or think about it? Would be cool and nice to have for those who want to put it there

There can't be more than one person with a goofy name like that. Right? :rotfl:

While I probably won't use it, I'll toss a vote in for the idea.

I like to use my screen name "Denali n DOO" throughout the forums, but I use my real name in pm's, email and in person. That's just me though...

I think the biggest benefit would be when attending meets. It would be nice to already know first names that go with usernames before you even get there. Especially for those of us who are terrible with names anyway. :redface:

you don't have to post it there if you dont want, just have it as an option to have if you would like people to refer to you by your name. Not everyone fills out there truck info, same idea dont have to put your name there


HARDTRAILZ said:
Already been a thread on this as well....

In fact you posted in it and still started this one.

http://gmtnation.com/f7/place-profile-real-names-320/

I looked to see if there was already one and didn't see it so that is why I started this one! Must have missed it

Yep, I still want this feature. TBSSOwners.com and a few other forums Im a member on have it. I keep my name in my sig currently, but it wastes space and I have too many mods and cant list them! :rotfl:

I agree, and I know it will be optional but just saying
Like the game This or That, which sounds better??? Pick one.

Denali n DOO agrees with Hardtrailz's post and then there's Harmless's opinion.
Or
George agrees with Bob's post and then there's Harry's opinion.

To me our fun names are exactly that...FUN! I'm surprised a poll hasn't been started on this topic yet!

Due to a broken finger, I am not able to do any coding at the moment. It's hard (and slow) enough just trying to type without using that hand.

I'll look into making this an option for members that want to display their real names under their avatar in the near future.

it seems obvious to place our id under the Avatar rather than under the owners car !

Sorry to hear about the finger. Hopefully it heals quickly! Thanks that would be nice to have there for those who would like to use it later on

I know how our favorite Admin broke his finger... :poke:

He kept flinging it up at the screen and yelling obsceneties every time he saw a thread like this and pulled something!!

Now I read through this entire post, and I agree it would be nice to have a spot for real names.

Sam, your last post just completely confused the hell out of me. If Sam is your nickname, why do you have ItsOnVoy listed?

I'm a woman lol I read into things WAY to much!!!
