Or.....if you click (left or right) on the person's user name it'll take you to their profile and will display BOTH......text AND icon.archangle wrote:If you want to find out what the icon is, just right click on it, "open link in new tab" and then look at the page that opens in the new tab. Or same thing with "new window." You don't lose your place in the original post.
There are problems with both methods. The biggest problem I have with people using "text" is that the new users usually don't have the correct equipment picked out from the equipment lists. Sometimes they're mis-matched between different generations because the manufacturers tend to reuse the same names.
By using the icons, at some point the user MAY look at their posts and say "That doesn't look like what I'm using." (if they select the wrong equipment).
I recall numerous times asking members to check their equipment with what is showing in their profile.......and they never do.
