Now that we are rebuilding the user list, I suggest that users show up as Name and Call in threads and postings. Such as, Dan W1DMM or Al N1API. This would assist those not having a full call book on their brain and build up some first name camaraderie among members. BTW This is the way we usually address each other on nets and on the repeater.

I'll have to get together with Rich on this one. We asked that users sign with their call. If we changed everyone now it would change their log in. So there would be some who "didn't get the message" and be locked out.
There would be problems with multi word logins as there would be some who don't log in for a while and forget the format, IE NAME CALL, CALL NAME, NAME - CALL, CALL - NAME, CALL-NAME, NAME-CALL. I think you see what I'm getting at. More than 5 wrong try's and you are locked out for a half-hour. They may go away and not come back. But it is on the list to discuss.
There are two things you can do. You can go into your USER CP (Control Panel) and add a custom signature. Also you can and a custom title that appears in parenthesis under your log in name that looks like
N1API
(Al N1API)
