    Wassup with the member names in quotes? (Resolved)

    I noticed a few days ago that quite a few member names show up with quotes around the names - Ex. "John Doe" instead of just John Doe. I won't lose any sleep over this but it seems pretty odd. Just curious where the quotes are coming from.

    Take a look at the Member List. The quoted ones show up at the top of the list. I first noticed a couple of them on reply posts and got curious so I checked out the Member List.

    Well my name is not in quotes so it must be a mistake!

    Interesting...

    Hmmm. Strange. They don't post, or not very much.

    Hi Doug & all; re; the quotes -- when I first attempted to register, it would not take my name unless I put quotes around it. The only reason that I put quotes around my name was because the example of registering showed quotes around that name.
    Really I'd prefer to have the quotes taken off but I don't know who to contact.

    Mack, try Jackie Outten. PM her and she can probably take care of it for you.
