Hi all, Another newbie question. When I see chat from most people it shows up with their name beside the text. When I use the T key to open the chat and type mine does not show up with my name next to it. Does everyone else see my name? Or am I messing something up. I usually only use auto chat, but some guy kept asking me a question last night and I just needed to respond with a "yes". Hehe was really tough to do and keep control. Still not sure how the rest of you do this.

Wrong.... The game only shows your number and 2 letters, usually your initials when you actually type something..... IN the Player section of the Game there are 10 autochats you can preset and put your name buy. Read the readme file and RTFM :-) If you put a $ sign after each one it will post automaticly when you hit the key.... the ten autochats work off numbers 1 thru 10 on the numbers across the top of the KB.

Actually you're wrong as well (or at least not completely correct). Races hosted on Sierra.com preface incoming chat messages with the person's car number and first 8 characters of the UserID. Races not hosted through Sierra.com will use the person's car number along with their first and last initials. - Eric "Blake" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tnAl8.59075$[email hidden]... > Wrong....

So I am not "wrong", I never race on Sierra so I only see the Later....... "Eric Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a76k7g$237$[email hidden]...
