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

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:
|
i'm all for it.

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 ;). |
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 |
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 :) |
