Something that has puzzled me since I became a member and I don't think I ever asked before so, why does the 'Author' on a posted script always read 'simplyscripts'?
I often open a thread to see of the author/writer is someone I know is active before I think about reading and reviewing so if the author was listed I think it would save time and help regulars get more reads.  Any thoughts?


Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.

The author name is the name of the person who posted the script or started the thread
If you look in the General Discussion you'll see members names as  the author.

It would be must more work to post a members name for every script.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't too clear with my question/suggestion but I just think it would be good to see the writer before opening the thread.  I wouldn't know if this would be more work for Don, and probably not the best time to ask as he's snowed at the moment too lol.

It's a question I ask the first time I was here. Short answer, yes it would be more work for Don and some programming needed to allow that to happen.

I suggested this before too for the same reasons as you've stated, Anthony but I think Don said it would be a lot of extra work for him.

This has never crossed my mind before now.

It certainly sounds like a great idea, but I would probably change my mind if was me that had to do the work.

Yeah, I thought it would be cool too...
The author can control the opening post and update the logline or add a snyop.
Or even put that poster they made right there.

But since it's a lot to ask of Don, I just played the waiting game...
Then pounce and nab that first post when Don put up one of my scripts. LOL.

E.D.
