MG TD TF 1500 - Username suggestion

dear BBS friends,
I would like to make a suggestion that all of us mention their first name in their usernames instead of initials. It is very simple to do: click on customise and make the change (than scroll down to click on save options). I feel that amongst friends it is nicer to see the first names.
greetings, Huib

Should I still go by "David" (my given name)...or that "new" first name my wife of 38 years uses?

(The later may be flagged for obsenity!)

Can you say "a**hole" on here?

Cheers,
David / A
David Sheward

Can you say "a**hole" on here?

I think you just did.

I'd say stick with David. If you use the other one too many of us are lable to respond to a question. Could get real confusing.
LaVerne Downey

No problem here. I left the vping because that is my username for everything and all know me by that.

Great idea....and yes...asshole i'm sure is a pet name for a lot of us... better then what i used to be called....
gblawson(gordon)

Done and good idea.
I also added my photo of my car to the comments. This can be done under customize also. Neat to find out things one did not know of before. I had no idea on the customize thing.

Done - now you can have a good "Leave it to Beaver" laugh. Just don't get carried away, ok?

Thank you Huib. Your thought will make it easier to communicate with other members in a more direct manner.

Very Good idea.

Until I emigrated to the US I had never been called an asshole but that was soon rectified. In England, I was always called an ar*ehole. Semantics rearing its ugly head again, I suppose.

I had to remind myself, several times, of the reason why I was called an asshole. To help me do this I had recourse to the limerick:-

There was a young girl from Madras
Who had a beautiful ass
NOT rounded and pink
As you might think
But was gray, had long ears and ate grass.
Geoff Love

I guess I didn't hit the "box" at the bottom, but there it is now.

I think I already gave you "the business" Eddie.
LaVerne Downey

Ed...how you must have suffered growing up.... now days of course, kids will pay no attention to the name....
(does open up a couple good laughs if you posted the right photo to go with your posts).

I guess that I am kinda dumb. I can't find customize anywhere. Bob

If your signed in it is right beside the archive button (on mine anyway)...

you can change all the preferences and photos and stuff...

Done... I think

Got any other great ideas, Huib?

This really is a great site.

At most online forums I have seen, everybody hides behind a user name.
Steve Averka

Bob,
I pictured the BBS screen thatI think you will recognise and pointed to "customise"

Hey asshole (or ar*ehole).



(Curious to see who answers.)




I'll go first ....YOU RANG!
David Sheward

Yes?
Geoff Love

Had to change mine a few years back because someone got my password and I had to create a new one. Looks like it allowed me to change it.

Bruce
Bruce E Cunha

Someone is already using the name Jim.
Jim Northrup

Hey asshole (or ar*ehole).

Got it changed, but my grandkids call me grumpy.

Huib - - Many Thanks. Because of your suggestion, I was able to get my correct email address included on my posts. Lou
Lou Van Koningsveld

OK, I did it.
Lou, does "tracerfxr" perchance refer to Mercury Tracer, aka Mazda 323?

Fletcher R Millmore

OK I'm in.
The wife had to change hers on another site. She was using her initials at first..
BarB Ann Grogan or ( BAG ) as I call her.. >grin<
Michael Grogan

Thanks Huib, was wondering where I could get rid of my initials and go back to the *old* listing that I had.
Gene Gillam

Done
Patrick Earles

OK I did it, why did they only want are initials when we signed up for the first time?

Fletcher - - For about 30 years, I was a field service tech., repairing a 3 dimensional electronic tracer attachment for milling machines. Unfortunately, the use of CAD/CAM meant the demise of the tracer process and most pattern shops as well. It was interesting work though. Lou
Lou Van Koningsveld

Lou -
Ah I see. I love tracers, and if I ever get to it will build a mechanical one for one of my lathes. Know a plant locally that has a hydraulic tracer mill, make a lot of plate cams.

Fletcher R Millmore

Thank you for these lovely responses.

I put my initials in at first to sign in and then tried to change it to my first name, but the initials still come up before my last name. Am I doing something wrong to change it. I can't use the wrenches on this lap top, so I'm at a loss. Well, I could use a wrench on it.
PSJ Jennings

You should be able to change your name under the 'customize' link at the top of the page?
Be sure to hit 'save' at the bottom of the choices.
