Forums

Is there any way to get the forum to display an actual (and optional) name as well as my username. The old yahoo groups forum for yui did this and I rather liked it. I find real names are nicer to use than username and make electronic communications more personal.

For example if you look at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-javascript/message/42271. You can see my name as well as my username.

Even using your name as your username can be confusing unless people already know your name. For example I wouldn't recognize davglass as a username based on a real name unless I already knew Dav Glass was a person likely to be on this forum.

Heh, got me there.

I just saw. Thanks for the quick turn around and great job. I like the way it looks a lot.

Do you guys are yahoo ever get to go home? 9pm is a rather late work day

Though I can't really say too much since I am doing work at home and its past midnight here. *sigh*

Hi Flynn,

I modified the file as you suggested, but within the comments section there is still the username visible and not the full name. I tested it with existing comments and new comments created after the change.

Is there anything else that needs to be done?
