It would be useful to add Nicknames to Friends

Post by MrOzGunner »

I often struggle to remember who is who, with all the different Usernames. Steam has a feature where you can add a Nickname to a friends account and only you can see that. What I usually do is add a nickname using the person's real name. That way I know who is who. I would love to see this added to BGA. It would make finding specific friend easier and knowing who is actually online.

I hope this is something you can consider for the site. Its amazing to see how it has grown in the past few years

Probably not as accessible as on Steam, but you can create a personal note per friend when you view their profile.

Wait, I thought they see the personal note…are you saying that is a note area only I see?

I agree, nicknames would be great. I mean even for real life friends who join with a screen name it can be easy to forget your friend Sally is FrostMaiden86, so being able to make a nickname that just says "Sally from work" would be great.
