    Who is asking the question???

    ...I think it would be a good idea if the admins. would place the screen name under the person asking the question on the index page; so we would know who is asking the question before opening it. Many users are still with those 'childish' avatars too, I would like to see those go away. . JMO..

    Vin-man are you at a wedding in this photo? You look quite happy like a good pasta is about to be served with a nice red wine.

    No, actually I just returned home from work.. I must've had a good day.. Besides, I am always smiling-- Or try too. :/ I'm sure when I got home there was nice pasta though.. I don't do wine.. Weird for an Italian huh.. LOL

    If you hold your cursor over the avatar before opening the question, you will see the person's name. The "childish avatars" are default to the program, people can upload their own once they become a member. If people are using the ask a question box found on web pages on the internet, then they do not need to be a member to use it and will get a default avatar and sometimes just a number for their name if they do not choose a nickname.

    thanks.. I already know about the 'non-member' questions.. They mistakenly take akaQA as the QA for the active site they are visiting, as the toolbar is a bit deceiving.. I don't say place member pictures either, I was just wanting something more identifiable showing regular members that have not changed their 'default' avatar.. i didn't know you could hover over they avatar for the name.. Nice tip!

    I'll see if there's a way they can add "member" to anyone who actually creates an account here on the forum.
