When users create posts in our blog we are seeing "Admin Admin" as the author instead of their correct information.  I have verified that first and last names have been correctly set for the users.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hi, njchim-
Which version of the DNN Blog module are you using?  I can say for certain that Blog version 3.03.x uses the poster's USERNAME by default rather than  FULLNAME.  (Blog version 3.04 is included with the latest DNN 4.9 release.)

1. Which version of Blog are you running?

2. Verify the setting is set to show "Full Name" or "Username" as the post author in Blog Settings.  Try changing it from one to the other and seeing if the problem is resolved.

UPDATE:  I verified that both Blog 3.03.x and Blog 3.04 set the author's name to the account USERAME by default rather than FULLNAME. 

As Rip Rowan said, look under each Blog's settings to switch this between USERNAME and FULLNAME.

 I don't think I made my problem clear.  I see the setting to switch between username and full name ... and it works.  My problem is no matter which user post to the blog the author is displayed as the admin.  For example: I log in as user Jill Smith (jsmith) and post to the blog.  I expect to see 'Jill Smith' or 'jsmith' depending on the setting you are speaking of...  Instead I see 'Admin Admin' or 'admin' instead of the user's info.
