Hi to all staff members,
I am inviting staff feedback on a suggestion i would like to put forward for a better, warmer and a more friendly Forum experience for all Forum members.
Since i have been a member of the Forum, i have posted and replied many times to all sorts of topics, and of course reached out and communicated with many Forum members. From my own personal experience, there have been many,many times when i wanted to respond to the person, and use their christian name, for a MORE personal, warm and friendly approach to the reply. A matter of respect if you like.
But the problem for me has been that I never went to the trouble of tabulating a list of first names of members as they have bobbed up along the way. Therefore, I DO have trouble remembering members first names sometimes, and I find that somewhat embarrassing for me.:blush:
So my proposal is along the lines of setting up a special section in the FORUM area, that acts like a private reference library for any Forum member to access when needed to obtain a first name for their own usage. The listings would simply show the Forum members official name like Austin Vert --- Greg and be alphabetically listed.
I realize that some Forum members would have a sensitivity to showing their first names in the library, so on that basis, participation would be non compulsory, leaving only the first names of members who would not mind their first names being put in the library.
(now what was your name again?)
Greg.
(The warm and friendly guy)
