Post by: Kev Loomes on November 14, 2008, 05:17:47 pm: Your dead right Joe, I think they should make it compulsory. It pee's me off when you get a newbie - possibly a cowboy trying to find out how to do his own job properly! (no offence to new, hard working, honest & dedicated newbies) ;D

I try not to bother replying to people who 'hide' their i.d. if they cannot be arsed to fill it in and be honest - then why should I bother ??? They shouldnt be given the time of day in my book.

Rant over - going to have a beer now 8)

Been debated several times over the years, but for various reasons Mike B has decided against it.

Usually because in the past we have had some industry high profile people whos identity needed to be protected.

I do not think they post anymore

Post by: Doug Holloway on November 14, 2008, 06:03:50 pm: Hi Guys

We have always had a fairly relaxed approach on this board but keeping track of who is who with so many people choosing to post under psuedonyms, most of who are not even banned is proving more and more difficult.

Maybe time has come to make the forum a bit more exclusive.

To me it comes down to manners, when you meet someone you shake hands and say your name.

I have personally been abused by people hiding their identity which is pathetic and cowardly.
We do not all have to agree but should surely be able to disagree with dignity.

It's Mike's call but from moderators point of view knowing who you are talking to would make life a lot easier.

Cheers

Doug

Have added my picture a few days ago.

Post by: JandS on November 14, 2008, 06:12:08 pm: How do you add a photo??
You know my name and you know generally where I come from would that be sufficient.
Because I would be reluctant to put any other details up.

Post by: Joe H on November 14, 2008, 06:59:33 pm: Does Mike Boxall look into the forum regular?
Can he see what we are wanting to be done.

Many of you may not know there was someone late this afternoon who seemed to be stirring things up with Ian.

Its easy to update your profile

Just click on your name and go to the left and click on update profile.

Photos will have to be at low resolution or adjusted via a bit of software available on the internet.

Do it. ................ show Mike Boxall this is what we want.
Like i said - other forums do it.

Good idea but!!

Anybody can use a different name, and could upload a photo of someone else, so how do you really know who your talking to.

I know of one forum where you have to register with your tel number and they will ring you to verify who you are, and it has to be a landline number, so i never joined.

Perhaps your new tag should therefore be "sex and happy cleaning" ;D
Title: Re: FULL ID
Post by: Jim_77 on November 15, 2008, 02:21:44 am: For those struggling to sort their avatar...

Firstly you need to have an avatar picture saved on your computer somewhere.

I think your avatar has to be no more than 100 pixels wide, and no more than about 120 pixels high ( i think, can't find the exact figure for height.)

They have to be in jpg format too i think.

If anyone has a picture and they don't know how to edit it down for an avatar, send it to me via email and I'll crop it down for you :)

jimnealuk@gmail.com

How to set your avatar:

1) scroll up to the top of the page and click the button marked Profile (maybe right-click it and open it in a new window so you can keep this one open)

2) Click on Forum Profile Information

3) Click on the radio button marked I will upload my own picture:

4) Click on Browse and navigate to your picture, click on it and then select the Open button. The file name and path should appear in the text box.

5) Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Change Profile

If it has worked, you should now see your avatar picture displayed next to where it says "I will upload my own picture"
Title: Re: FULL ID
Post by: Jim_77 on November 15, 2008, 02:27:58 am: [Edited for mistake 15/11/08!]

You don't have to delete your account to change your name either!

You can change your displayed name as follows:

1) Scroll up to the top of the page and click the button marked Profile (maybe right-click it and open it in a new window so you can keep this one open)

2) Click on Account Related Settings

3) Click in the text area where it says Name: and type in your Name.

4) Scroll down and click the Change Profile button

If you're worried about people not knowing who you are, just add to your signature "formerly known as XXXXXX !" Folks soon catch up ;)

Signature is edited in the Forum Profile Information section, same as the avatar.

Most people will be saying "Yeah yeah this is really dumb basic stuff, I know this" but I bet a few don't know how to do this, so I hope it helps one or two of us :)

How do your customers phone you?

Although my number is readily available amd so is Doug I do not think the umbers would need to show in your id on general view

Moderators do have a problem with hidden emails as we cannot see them which is often why you cannot be told why your post was removed,

Jim thanks for that info, i was pleased when i read this :D as i would like to add my name to my account! (have tried and failed previously) Then was sad :( when i couldn't find the NAME section in the Forum profile Information.

Underneath the browse section where you change your avatar / picture in the personal details section it only has :- Birthday, location and gender, with no other facility to change my name!

Am i looking in the wrong place?

Post by: HQCS (John Kastrian) on November 15, 2008, 04:47:08 pm: Ian,the option to "hide" email addresses within your personal options is to prevent the general public from seeing a members email address,this is the choice of the member,and should not prevent Moderators or Admin from seeing them via the moderators panel.
I moderate on a totally non cleaning related board and have done so for many years and we have thousands of members who choose not to show their email addresses or use the avatar function,on our site this is not compulsory,but as Moderators or Admin the information is still readily available.
When a Mod removes or edits a post there is the option for that Mod to state a reason and that is emailed or PMd to the member regardless of whether his email is on public view or not.
I have just realised that this board does not use VBulletin so appreciate that maybe Mod options and permissions may be more limited on here.-John

Steve, I think if you log out of the forum then go to log in again, there should be a "forgot password" link. That should send you your password, or a temporary one which you can change after you've logged back in again. I'll just log out and in again to check, will post back in a min...

I give up - I logged out, clicked on forgotten password, got sent an e-mail, clicked on the link, re-set the password, logged in with the new password no problem, changed my name and input the new password and it won't change it.
Title: Re: FULL ID
Post by: Jim_77 on November 16, 2008, 12:22:43 am: It should be pretty straightforward :-\

Did you click on the Change Profile button after you'd typed in your new name?
Title: Re: FULL ID
Post by: garyj on November 16, 2008, 12:34:27 am: I have changed mine every now and then, we went through a phase earlier in the year when everyone changed to there real names and it got confusing ( for me anyway ).

I had trouble changing my name back to garyj, and have changed it temporarily for a lark and it is sometimes a pain to change back.

If you are having trouble to follow Jims steps again tomorrow??, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!.

( I think Kev Loomes was one of the ones that changed, cannot remember who he was before! )
Title: Re: FULL ID
Post by: Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus) on November 16, 2008, 09:13:20 am: Yeah done that Jim

Deleted the old name - input the new name - entered new password - clicked change profile - the sceen then goes back to the top with the word Name now in red, obviously indicating an error.

I have logged out and back in so the password obviously works.

You must have had another account and then made a new one!

If you can, log in to your old account and delete it, then try to change the name on your current one ;)

Thanks for finding that old account for me, looks like it's got a defunct e-mail address listed on it.

So this will have to do as my new screen name - I'm not changing my picture as I look happy in it - all my other pics on my pc I look miserable as sin (mind you I was still with my ex-wife then ::) )

I had a hunch when you said about it coming up in red when trying to changethe name.

I just used the advanced search function and searched foir any post containing the letter A and by user *barnett* (the stars are like wildcards)

It threw up your one and only post from that old account.
