Title: Display Name Problem
Post by: nelweb on April 03, 2005, 09:41:25 PM
How do i make the display name default the username?  SMF was set up originally to display the username as the deafult setting.  The new bridge makes the users real first and last name the display name.  Any suggestions on how to change it?

It's certainly doable but it will require changes in SMF core. And I don't think it's a good idea to hack it. It would be too much work everytime SMF will make a new release.

it would be great, if there was an easier way to do it.  I know that a good amount of people will not like the way that the forum displays their real name as the default setting.

I realized that too. Let me see if this could be implemented on the future releases.

thanks!  The old versions of the bridge use to have this feature so I am sure that other will really appreciate it too.
