Hopefully everyone figures out, and actually creates, a signature.
Andy,
This is at the top of our list of desired modifications for the forums. The software is designed by default to show your username, or "handle." There weren't any available modifications to pull your real name instead of the username, but we hope we'll be able to find a way to do this in the future. Given the benefits of these forums vs. the older product, we didn't want to hold up the launch for this feature. In the meantime, we hope everyone will follow your lead and take advantage of the signature (and avatar) options.
