Please put your first name/location in your 'Signature'
(Preview)
When we went to this this forum, we lost the member 'name' and 'location' on the avatar pic. I noticed that Mitch added his first name into his signature, which I think is a great idea as others have expressed that it's hard to know the name of the forum member without clicking on their user link. So, I'm as...
