umesh 336 Posted May 26, 2016 Think I've suggested this before but can't remember .. must be the grey matter ! Its not always easy to know who's who but let me pick on one person David Bilsborough as an example ( Hope you don't mind David ) David comments on a thread , if I want to know more about him I click on his name but it doesn't tell me anything more about him ? Website , location , tel No , email , twitter etc etc Would it not be useful if next to the name it showed this ? Umesh Samani www.autochange.co.uk Umesh@autochange.co.uk 01782 822 700 @specialistcars1 If all the details were shown then if David posted a comment I thought , you know what I'd like to have a personal conversation because it was interesting but more private than a forum , you simply pick the phone up or email at a click ? I FULLY understand some people need to keep their identity secret but .. just an idea ? thoughts ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basildon car sales 17 Posted May 27, 2016 umesh I think your absolutely right that would be a great idea. for example loads of people replied to my thread I set up but I didn't know who was who and It was hard to have a personal conversation with them and also if you have every ones details I think it's more easier to meet up at expos etc i think your idea is great and it would help us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin@Rousdon 137 Posted May 27, 2016 Great idea but this is a forum after all. Whilst some are straight about who we are and what we do, it's not unknown for forums to attract a certain type who like to twist the truth shall we say. How much it happens on here I don't know as it's a fairly small group of people, not that I care who writes what!!! It's just part and parcel of the internet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am who I am so nothing to hide and say what I think/Feel is best for me and my business or things which may help others ! #simples 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rory RSC 596 Posted May 27, 2016 Its possible for us to put a face to a name and I don't think there are any regular contributors on here that I wouldn't be happy to shoot the breeze with over a curry or a pint (even better if both ) . My only concern sometimes here is with my username if I was to vent about a customer situation that it may come back to bite me as its not all behind closed doors so to speak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Williams 0 Posted May 27, 2016 Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and I hope you don't mind me jumping in. I think telephone numbers and emails is too much information, but knowing a bit more about members would be useful. Visibility and transparency creates trust, which can only be a good thing?

Welcome on board ! to know more you'd have to put web address - with that it shows Tel No & possibly email ..so might as well post full details ! I Think it builds trust and get to know who's who / type of business / location etc and it could be that you have a car that I have a customer for or other way and at least if we know about each other without having to do a google 'research' its makes ir easy for us all !
