Okay, I think we finally have the "Display Name" setting up and working. This modification will allow you to set the name that is shown on the forum for your posts. You'll still need your login ID of course, but maybe this will approximate the way the old forum was with a Display Name.
To set it go to your User Control Panel, or User CP, which can be accessed in the upper left of any screen on the toolbar. Once there go to "Edit Profile" and look down a bit as shown in the screen shot below. Enter in the name you want shown for public display.
For me, I use my real name as I think folks like to communicate with real people instead of odd aliases that don't much to anyone except the owner.
Now, you are STILL going to have a login ID displayed, but it will be small and located under the Display Name. In my case my Display Name is "Ron Earp - Admin", while my login ID is "Ron Earp"
Give it a try, I hope this will work out and answer one of the number one most asked questions since moving to this new forum software.
Best,
Ron
