Names of Posters.

[NoshowJones]

When you read though some posts in a topic, at the bottom of the page it tells you the user name of posters who are at present reading that topic. What I would like to know is what does it mean when a posters username has different wording ie, scorecard  "NoshowJones"  thaibeachlovers?

Go to Youtube and download Alan Jackson singing "Playing Possum" that should answer your question.

I think you mean "in italics".

[Stocky]

I thought when the name was italicised it meant they were in the process of replying.

Don't think so, I'm replying and my name's not italicised.   

Perhaps the thread's OP's name gets the inverted commas/italics?

I think you'll need to post something "offensive" to get a mod's attention.

A poster said if the name is in italics it means they are answering the thread.

Unfortunately, that's not the case, I'm answering right now and my name in the browsing list is not italicised.

I doubt it would actually italicize your own name while you were replying; unless you checked with somebody else while you were in the process?

Don't need two people, just scroll down to the "browsing" section while typing the reply like I'm doing now, my name is there.
