Something that came up in another thread .....................

It would be great if we could use our real names instead of made-up 'usernames'.

When we meet on the river bank we use our real names ..... it simply makes sense to do so on here too :z16

Cheers
Mike

We are sitting at 2422 forum members ...... but how many of those are active members, possibly about 100, maybe less  *smiley-grin*

I'm not a numbers sort of guy ( ask my accountant ) and having 2000 in the member list is not realistic and can also slow things down.

I'm therefore going to heavily prune that membership list on a regular basis to better reflect the level of active members.

Cheers

That's the exercise completed ....... We have 255 active members in our community, that's a lot more than I thought :z12

Using our real names is proving a huge improvement, and makes for a much better community of friends  :)

Best wishes

Am thinking if this was match .com and they were all leggy blondes, then I'd be jumping through hoola hoops right now.

Just goes to show our site is far more popular than we thought. Great stuff keep up the good work.

That's the membership update done. The software certainly saves a lot of admin time, works well, and it can be run on a regular basis.

Thanks for your help everybody :z16
