Hello all,

It's my first post on this forum. I have to say that this community is doing an awesome job. So far I haven't had any troubles with the installation nor the configuration of dotnetnuke. My question here doesn't relate to an error either. I just want to know if the following is possible:

My portal uses an Active Directory module to authenticate/create users accounts. The problem with this is that our useraccounts are actually codes. (ex. HED12345)  So when a user posts on the forum/blog there is no way to tell who made the post. 

So my question:  Is there a way to change the way how forum/blog displays the user name? It currently uses the alias to display who made a post. Is it possible to change this to the Full Name tag for instance?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

Hi and thanks for your response.

I still want to automatically change the names to the full name. It seems I have to do it myself by changing the module.

It would be great if you could give me a pointer where to start. Since i'm not a ASP.net/VB guru, I could use the help. (Not asking to do the code itself, just asking where to change the code)

Thanks in advance!

ps. isn't it a good idea to implement this feature in the next release of forum/blog? I've heard several others wanting the same feature. Some modules have it built-in also (like NewBlog, dnnportal.de)
