Hey Guys, the moderators mainly, with all these pages that list everyones name and state / location, do you think we can get all these put on one page with a simple link somewhere on the home page so if we want to find the name and location of an avatar we can just click the link and find the info.

Hey Hotrod, i just clicked on your avatar, and it does'nt have your first name, that was the point i was making. I think if we can have the following info on members:
Bedfordcrazy
Brisbane or Logan
George
If these 3 things were accessable by members about members, it might make it easier if you want to buy or planning to visit members. Maybe make these 3 things mandatory when becoming a full member, and those that want to add more info can. I always end a post with my name, but a lot dont, so i just thing it makes it easier to use someones name. Just food for thought.

that sounds good george but i dont think you can make it manatory because some people might not want their identity's revealed like you.
cheers

I agree benny, but i guess if someone was going to find george in brissy, um, they would need a bit more info then what is here. I just think that saying hi benny, is just more friendly, and also most people here at some stage sign off using their name, all i am sugesting is that if some of us want to be on a first name bases, then we can click on an avata and the name is there.
As for the Location, i mean if we are tyring set up meets or want to buy a part, we can see where the seller lives STATE or CITY instead of getting a shock and seeing they are in perth and have to organise delivery or look else where. I mean most people also tell us their location at some stage, all i am sugesting is to have the info at your finger tips instead of hunting through post to try and find certain info.
I am all for peoples safety and security, but here is a security breach i have spotted on here for a long time, everytime some of us post pics on here, 9 outa 10 post the pic with a number plate exposed. As a PI it would take me 10minutes to get a 100 points of info on a person, full name, date of birth, address and more, for joe blow a trip to the transport dept, and an hour later i could have more info then most people would be comfortable with, and no i am not going to give instructions on how. I black out my number plates with photoshop b4 i post pics, but most on here dont, look at the green van on the left right now.
At the end of the day, i recon any changes should be voted on, but lets remember, dozens of us have just in the last couple of days, posted the 3 bits of info in petrolheads - clints - perth original posts/topic. The number plate on the green van is qld, thats why i asked if he was in brissy in the 4x4 post. At the end of the day we still need to exchange identifiable info via email, or as i did with benny, over the phn, anyways its only a suggestion guys, we can say no or we can talk about it, or just leave it as is.
