To everyone else it appears in alphabetic order, it makes it easier to find that way in case you want to click on it and look at your profile, photo gallery, classified ads.. etc

Its no big deal, but like Larry said, if someone was looking for waam, they might just look down by the W's. Thats the way we would do it up here in the north. waam Holland, Mich.

Lary,

when the site was in it's first couple of years, didn't it show your name in the order of your membership number?

I believe so. I don't remember now. It's already been 3 years since we upgraded to Vbulletin. I say 3 years because I look back and it seems like yesterday. I want to say that it was either by user number or registration date.

Stop stealing his pants and flying them off the flag pole out in the parking lot and Top may stop doing that.

Name on active user list

Larry waam here again, my name always used to be down by the w's. Reason I know is cause I was, (speaking of who is number one) always the first one under the W's. We went on a five Wk. trip out west, all of Sept. and part of Oct. Upon our return is when I notice my user name at the beginning of the list. For a long time I had trouble staying logged in or on DTR. User name might have gotten put up front then. I just thought I had a reasonable request as to why my user name was at the head of the active user list, when everybody else is in alphabetical order. Thanks again, waam Holland, Mich.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. MY name is always first on the list. I think that privilege goes to whoever wins Member of the Month at DTR. (ok, I'm grateful, but someone else can win for a change).

Waam, Lary explained it in his first post but I'll try it another way.

On your computer when you are logged on, your name is the first name on the list and mine is down in the "w"s. On my computer, when I am logged in, my name is the first on the list and you are the first of the "w"s.

Everybody is first on their own screen, but in alphabetical order on everybody else's screen. Does that make sense?

Now I'm really befuddled...

So if my name is at the top of the list only on my computer, how do you guys know?

Are you watching us?
