I apologize if this has been answered already. Will it be possible, in the next rev, to show the username. We make every effort in other modules to not expose the users first name and last name. It would be great to see JeffP vs Jeff Philips for the author token.

TIA
Buck

This is something that has been requested in the Smart-Thinker modules - out of interest, how does DisplayName fit into this? Should DisplayName not replace First and Last name and be used in conjunction with UserName (this applies to all module functionality - should perhaps be asked in the main Forum)

I agree. DisplayName should be used unless it doesnt exist, then use UserName.

When i upgraded to 3.3 / 4.3, i ran a script to copy UserName to DisplayName so at least there is an entry already in place. The Login / Register control now shows DisplayName on my site
