Forum usernames with a personal touch

Forum usernames with a personal touch

I’ve therefore seen other discourse-based websites, such the glitch help website. And i’ve seen that you can select a custom username; it’d be good if that option was available here as well so individuals could have the distinctive username they may have desired on the main site.

Advantages

  • More visitors to the site.
  • More activity seen throughout the community.

yes! It would be really wonderful, and lots of people would swarm to the forums to participate in discussions and have cool usernames :). This is likely advantageous for the forums (could also result badly).

Im not 100% sire if this is possible with SSO. Though we are able to set a name that will appear though usernames are prioritise. Changing that would be its own request

However, as I’ve already indicated, if you were allowed to pick a nice and original username on the forums, a lot of people would definitely flock there. Normally, if you go to preferences and go to the username stuff, you should be able to modify your name, but on here you can’t :(.

You know the name part in preferences (it displays on your user card, see mine). They could just use this as the display name.

Your true username will be found in the name field in preferences (the first item you see).

On “account” in preferences you will see the “Name” option, which is what I’m talking about.
