  • The ball has began to roll… who’s next?

    Posted by Robert Lambie on August 21, 2005 at 6:43 pm

    I 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.

    admin@uksignboards.com

    thank you in advance everyone… 😀

    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?

    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?

    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 !
