This is my mini-rant regarding security of personal info and the current posting options for the DNN forums:
It's been a little while since I've cruised these DNN forums but I was slightly shocked to see my full name staring back at me from my previous postings instead of my username as it was before.  My personal preference is to not list my actual name anyone online that it does not need to be publicly listed.  I consider DNN postings to fall into the "does not require my full name" category.

After searching through both site and forum settings I determined that, to change what is displayed in my forum postings,  I'd simply have to change the "personal" DNN profile settings for the "FirstName" and "LastName" fields to something that is not actually my first or last name.

I feel that posters should be given the option (without having to give incorrect info in their profile settings) on whether to display their actual name versus their DNN username or, perhaps, their DNN "DisplayName".

Does this bother anyone else?

Also noted in this thread...

The changed display name does seem presumptuous.
