SuggestionHow about an extra field in the member settings? and two other suggestions. Pin

I remembered I have more than one:
  • I would really like to have another field in members setting: something like "Display name" or "Full name" (or even both) as opposed to the CodeProject identification name. Initially, it could be assigned DbNull or empty string or initialized to the ID name for new members, but in all such cases it would be possible to modify it.

    When I realized that I could put any name, even a name with blank spaces and when few people asked me about my real name, it was too late — my full name Sergey A Kryukov was already taken by another member (this is because all three parts of my name are relatively popular in Russia, but for exact spelling showed above Google finds me at first line). Also, many people knew me by my short signature "SA", many people called me by that nick at work. At the same time, I don't want to loose my old ID "SAKryukov". Believe or not, I received few personal e-mails from people who trusted me to answer their questions or told me they track and read all my posts (hard to believe though but very touching).

    I'm sure some other members would take benefits from such field(s). Some have very memorable IDs not very suitable for personal addressing like "Dear wonderFool,..." (yes, there is a member named "wonderfool").

    I hope this suggestion makes sense.
  • I would suggest that "United State of America" (or any really existing country) should not be used as default for the county of residence. It's obvious that in many cases it was taken as default and actually meant to be "I don't care", which would be perfectly all right if would make some difference with those who intended to specify this country.

    Rather, you should not allow creation of an account until a newcomer selects all required items; and this item should be required (mandatory). After all, you can reserve such country value as "not specified" or, say, "Wonderland" Smile | :) .
  • A minor flaw which irritates sometimes: [Main menu] => "Articles" => "Search" => http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx[^].

    Default search set: "Everything" is selected, next item — "Articles" — is not unselected as well as all other item. Isn't that logical that only "Articles" should be selected by default?

    I would also suggest not to mix up "Everything" with other options which otherwise act like a bit set, which is good. The usual well-expected and clear style is this: all check boxes represent bit set options (without "everything"), but there are "Select All" and "Unselect All" buttons. This is no so critical though.


Thank you very much for considering this.
