Initials of Player's Name

[temery]

First letter of first name followed by the first letter of surname x 3. KK Arnold is the only exception. Use the pattern and auto correct will replace with full name.

Feel free to practice by replying to this thread. Report any problems. I don't think the case matters.

Worth Noting: you can still just type the name out. I'm just trying to make things a little easier.

Personally, I don’t like it when initials are used in various forms. Sometimes you don’t know who or what they are. But that’s the way it is now.

Okay, it works except for Ines. I get 2 Ice Bradys (which I'm sure the team would like.)

I deleted Ice Brady. Her name is easy enough to type.

Not sure if I will use any of these shortcuts but really, really appreciate the time and effort that TEee put into it.

Can this thread be pinned for future generations to use?

It'll help those who are typing on a phone's keyboard. Thanks

Why isn't Fudd Azzi Fudd ?

If you see something, say something. Otherwise, it keeps going.

How about The Kid and CFD and The Icon? Is there a way to abbreviate them? (asking for a, um, friend, yea, that's it)

Although you are well intended, this does not work for a person over 80.

 

[ShmiCO]

I like it. I tried all lowercase and that works too. So fast!

I love this. Iceee for Ice Brady should work like you did with Azzi

A solution in search of a problem

 

[Cuango]

The problem with things like this is manifestly obvious! First, (as Alydar points out) there’s an inconsistency with Azzi, second (and more important) you are always going to run into the problem of certain initials representing problematical images/words. I’m reasonably sure Ashlynn is not going to want to see the provided initials referring to her! Well meant effort but definitely needs some tweaks.

It's my understanding that the only one seeing the initials is the person posting the comment/reply. Once the reply or comment is posted, the BY readers will only see the full name, not any initials. So Ashlynn, and every other BYer, will see Ashlynn Shade...nothing else. And if a poster feels that any initial shortcut is improper, then just type full name.

If you remember the initials, just triple the second letter, or type the name. Age should have nothing to do with it.

If you remember the initials, just tripple the second letter, or type the name. Age should have nothing to do with it.

Age, my friend, has everything to do with it.

But thanks for the solution. It will help, believe me.
