Bad choice of username?

#1 · April 25, 2018, 3:26 pm

When we set up our Wordpress site a few years ago, the decision was made to use our members email-adresses as usernames.
Now when we try to implement Asgaros as our new forum, we get the problem that our users email addresses are displayed in all posts. Is it possible to suppress the username and only show the nickname?

Hello @skip6711

The unique usernames are used for the mentioning-functionality because its the only name which ensures uniqueness. Its not possible to use something like the firstname because for example a lot of users could have the name Thomas.

If you dont want to use the mentioning-functionality you can turn it off in the forum-settings. In this case the gray unique username is not shown anymore below the users avatar.
