Labtec, maybe you could update your first post with numbers identifying each member. You'd really only need the country code plus the first three* numbers (e.g. +64 210 for me), unless someone has an objection.

*Two members from the same country using the same mobile provider would have identical numbers if only the country code + first two numbers were used so three is probably better.

If members set a username they can be identified.

Oh really, how do you do that? Everyone came up according to their numbers when I first joined the group.

I will not put the phone numbers on this website, i think it would be a better idea to keep a small list and PM this list to members joining the group.

Good plan! I will remove any phone numbers I see in this thread any and all just to avoid privacy violation. Send them via PM please. :bigsmurf:

I should show up with a name... I set it when I made an account.

Well it's only a country code, provider prefix, and one random digit but ok :D

I set one too but nothing showed up. I have seen on one occasion a number I did not know in a group with a username beside it but I'm not sure how he got that to work and why it doesn't work with others. Maybe there's something weird like you have to be added to the group before that person or something.

Anyway, might not have been a problem for others but I had to check the numbers with Labtec to see who's who.

For me it works so that when somebody posts a message to the group you can see the user name at small font after the phone number like this :

+1234567890username here
and the whatsapp post here :D
