Real Name Profile Field
 
Read FIRST: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=20442


Now read my post,


Well...

Some, like myself, don't want to use their "real name" as their user name. Also, I enjoy haveing funny text (something else cool) for a user title instead of my real name. I guess I could put my name in my sig, but I think it would get lost there :)

SO...

Who would support adding a profile field (optional) for your real name? It would then be displayed in your posts by location, team name... (where ever brandon thinks it looks good :))

If you think that this is a stupid idea, feel free to say so too :p

I'll add that the addition of this field is little-to-no work, so I don't mind either way. I'll add it if enough people want it.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

sounds good
 
sounds like a good idead to me....I know camtunkpa is my user name for everything and I like it that way, but I would also like to see real name profiles!

Well.. in addition to having the custom profile field for real names, the current row (in a post) that shows the username of the person who posted could be replaced with one that shows the information in the "Real Name" field. If a user does not enter a name in the Real Name field, then the username is placed in the field in place of the name.. the problem with this idea is that a few people have the same name, and some confusion would arise as to which person is the one posting (in some cases anyway).

It would be nice to see a name with a username instead having to relearn usernames as they change.

KyleGilbert45 25-04-2003 12:21

This sounds like a really good idea to me... even though my username is my name...

I want!

I would really like that, and I think Andy would agree it is a good compromise. As for me, WakeZero is my online persona... and I kind of like it :yikes:

Josh Hambright 25-04-2003 12:33

i'm all for it.

Winged Globe 25-04-2003 12:36

One idea....

User name
Custom title
Avatar

then...
Real Name:
Registered:
...


Or, of course, the basic:
User name
Real name
Custom title
Avatar
...

There is almost no reason not to add it, and 20 million reasons to add it in the user's profile. Consider the people spoken ;).

People who already have their real name in their user name can consider it as a bonus line to put something cool there... Or not ;).

Jeff Waegelin 25-04-2003 13:06

Absolutely. Our site (www.feds201.com) has a "real name" field that goes under the avatar, and it helps, especially when someone has a rather cryptic username.

I like that idea

Jack 25-04-2003 13:32

Winged Globe I like your idea of putting it above the Registered: ...

I think that useing
Real Name: Andrew Schenk

Would be too long, and would just suggest using
Name: Andrew Schenk

I think that most people could figure out the difference between the Big Bold one at the top & then the Name: field below :)
