    Customizable username for forums

    Does anyone know how to change how members show up when they post a comment in the Forum?

     

    Because we have members real names blocked, all members that post show up as "Anonymous Member" in posts.

     

    When members apply for membership, they select a "Profile" Member name.  

     

    Is there a way for this discreet "Member / Profile" name to show up in posts instead of having to unblock their real names or only show "Anonymous".

     

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Nothing, sorry.

    But the question is - why? You do not want to reveal real name but want to substitute it with some profile name (nickname?). What is profile name in this case? Can you give us some examples of such profile names?

    Re: Can we change "Anonymous" Member in Forum Posts?

    I created a work around, that works for things that I post under the admin login.  I created a membership level for the admin account. Changed the first name and last name of the admin account to reflect the name of my organization.  So now when I post things under "News and Announcements" forum, it does not come up as "Anonymous" but now shows up as posted by my organization's name.  May not work for all profiles, but it did for my admin one!
