Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to display the user's Full Name instead of their username on their posts? Thanks.

In the current version this can only be accomplished by changing the code of what the Alias variable is set to. You could ask each use to change their alias or you as admin can change it for them. In a future version I am looking at the option of Username or Display name and eliminating Alias.

Before seeing this thread, I made the following post:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/8/threadid/84948/scope/posts/Default.aspx

I feel that since Display Name is the users choice as to what to display, the Forum Module should set Alias to that value.  And since some people do choose to use their email address as User Name, setting Alias from User Name is a privacy leak.

Could you please give more detail about changing the code, temporarily, until the decision to pull Alias from elsewhere is made?  Is it a Stored Procedure that we could carefully modify? Thank you.

If a problem can be solved, there's no use worrying about it.
If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.
