The ball has began to roll… who’s next?
Posted by Robert Lambie on August 21, 2005 at 6:43 pmI would like to thank Phill Fenton, Brian Little & Chris Hooper for being some of the first to change their site username to their “own name”.
We are NOT enforcing this, but we are asking for members to now consider doing this.
i.e. nickname/company name being changed to first or full name. Again, if possible to also have a profile picture.If you would like your username to be changed, please do NOT do this yourself as the site will automatically log you out completely. Simple send me your username and the name you now wish to use and I will change it for you.
If you don’t yet have a profile picture, again, please feel free to send me it, along with your site username and ill load it for you.
thank you in advance everyone… 😀

hi rob how do i do it if i go into my profile it wont let me change it ??
-
just email me mate, ill do it for you… remember to include the name you wish to now use. 😉
-
just shows i didnt read anything just jumped in and tried to do it myself
doh 😳 -
Just a thought rob, would full names be better as there are a lot of Peters, Johns and Steve etc.
Peter (The one in the picture) -
TO BE HONEST PETER, FULL NAMES WOULD BE BETTER, IVE ALREADY HIT DUPLICATE NAMES TONIGHT 😕
-
there aren’t many Normingtons, even fewer Peter Normington’s, so i’m sure I wont be confused with anyone else! But Steve may be.
Rich has an unusual surname.
Can I ask the correct pronunciation Rich? Is it erkhart?
PN -
the name come from scotland there is a castle the left hand side of lockness which is called urquhart castle
as for the pronunciation you would have to call me on the phone as its hard to say on screen 😀
it sound like ercart -
Rich its called “castle urquart”…..as appossed to” urquart castle” ….dont know why it just is ….theres another piece of usless imfo for ya
regards Brian
-
Hey rob ive got an idea…..why dont we all put on a current phot as well ….that one of me was taken when i lived in brisbane oz in the late eightys to mid nineties……you want to see the guts on me now it would put john prescot to shame ….but im working on it
Brian 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
-
Brian its Urquhart castle mate
sorry castle Urquhart i thought you were spelling it urquart -
hey Rich …..Knowing me ive probally spilt it rong 😳 😳
-
Yep i am upfor it.
Rob i have emailed you and looking forward to being reborn on the boards!
Cheers
John
-
Oh dear,
I can see a problem arising. When we look at a post, we either associate it with a name or a picture or both. So some people may change to their real name, but because they have never had an avitar,
they have now lost their identity, if you can understand what I am saying?
It may not be possible, but how about a “formally known as” Or if the members could add this themselves for an interim period?
Peter -
yeh, true peter, but we want pictures too now 😉 :lol1:
i am sure it will work itself out.. :lol1: -
That’s exactly what I was thinking Peter.
You know what the answer is…..get your bleeding picture up!
People are going to have to refer to their old names for a while.
Of course, everyone in the trade round here calls me Hektor anyway. Don’t ask!
-
hektor :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
look forward to email or pm john thank you…
-
you really didn’t think I wouldn’t ask did you (?) and now youv’e changed your name you look completely differant 🙄
Lynn

Remember a kids’ programme from the 70s? Hector’s House……..
-
Someone I worked with suggested I looked like the dog, so named me Hector. Now all the local sign companies call me bloody Hector.
-
this is the worrying thing about using our real names …..it brings back all these physco problams from childhood 😀 😀 😀 things we thot wed burried years ago (hot) lol lol
-
quote Andy Gorman:Someone I worked with suggested I looked like the dog, so named me Hector. Now all the local sign companies call me bloody Hector.
Glad you explained that Andy. I was thinking the reference was to Hector Hananbal the murderer. My mind was racing trying to work out the association 😳 😮 🙄 😛
Shane
-
You look like the dog hector? now you said that I think I can see the resemblance now! :lol1:

i’d still rather use Drag-On, but have aded my name to the avatar, ok ??!!
-
No hugh its not! follow the flow, you know it makes sense! And btw, part with a few bob to get at least gold.
But if you changed your name to H. Potter, a few spells might be accepted
PN -
Come on Andrew (vectorwise) Join the Club! I knowyou are watching. 😀
PN -
thank you very much Terry Gall & Andrew Ritchie….
im afraid peter is right hugh… not really what we are after mate. sorry…
peter, andrew has now changed his name also 😉 :lol1:
-
Rob, Andrew has posted a lot of stuff in the past, so if I now do a search for “vectorwise” will I find It?
Answer: yes
I will because he is mentioned in the text, just answering a question that may be asked,
Peter -
if your searching for his avatar name, no… but andrew ritchie yes 😀
if hes actually typed the words vectorwise then it will find that too… -
Hugh, if you dont do it we will all ignore you 😉
Peter -
quote Drag-On:but i like being a webble !
but being a webbie is so passe’ now hugh. Move with us into the 21st century mate
-
I am not taking sides here… but I signed up on the 300th post as I thought it was time to “put some money into UKSB” buscuit tin.
-
WOW is this what mass hysteria is like 😀
Count me in too.
I’ll e-mail you once I’m off the board Rob.
Ex Scoz soon to be Simon Kay (yes folks another Simon! Must have been a 60’s thing) 😀

is it me or Lambie is having a spring clean here… I mean he’s tidying this place up isn’t he, has he got guests coming or something? or is he going to try and sell the boards to someone?
… he has just “dentised” my username and put a space between my names! I mean, what could it be i wonder?
-
Hey Rich…I’ve been to that castle & it was kick-ass.
Any relation to the builders?
Rob, you can change my name to Jill Marie Welsh.
Thanks!
Love…..jill -
go on then, change it to Hugh potter, can you not leave Drag-On under it ? !!
dsi, or whoever you now are !!! webble,, not a webbie !
re joining, i plan to when funds are consistent enough that they’re not going straight back outta the window or constructing the workbench, or going towards a new jaloppy etc !
i have to admit though, the board is a bit like having a ladder thats too short to see over the top of the whorehouse window cill (assuming you’d want to of course !), you know there’s plenty going on inside, but cannot see what you’re gonna get for your money !
-
:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: no not selling… nop… never…. love the site :love:
what do you mean you so my post on ebay? 😮
:lol1: :lol1:
your right, in a way its a freshen up.. new things being done in background and lots happening. just trying to get round to everything now rather than in a wekk or so when i have other things to concentrate on 😀
i do really like the username change though.. there are a few reasons for this rather than it just looking good. but something many folk have commented on in the past, so i thought best do it now. 😉
.

Hugh, the demo area access is well worth it. There are tutorials and ideas in there that are just excellent. I’m a fairly old hand but I’ve learned a lot of new tricks from the stuff in there.
Go on, go on, go on……

Hugh… I’m still new here, but Definatley the best money I’ve ever spent. You’ll make it back the first time you can’t find a font, or some one shares an image with you. And, as Andy (i like Big G better)… Mentioned – The tips and tricks forum is worth much more than the menbership fee! – Guaranteed!
-
I absolutely agree, the BBC are charging far too little, the license fee should be twice the cost.
Sorry
