I would like to add a small description to the Displayname on the registration form. Is this possible?

A simple workaround would be to put the explanation in the Disclaimer box just above the Disclaimer text.

That would be great if I knew how to put it at the top. It appears at the bottom instead. Also, removing the checkbox "I agree" would be good too but then that would mess up the whole registration process from the looks of register.php. This solution isn't quite what I'm looking for but thanks for the reply!

Thanks, phppp. If I weren't a PHP newbie then I'd probably understand. Since I'm not, how about this... How could I add a line to where it will appear to users at the top of the registration form? Something like:
echo "displayname description text";
above a specific line in register.php or include/form.php? I have no idea where I could add it.

why all the technical discussion lol

edit modules/profile/language/english/main.php

find

define('_PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAME','Displayname');


and edit it as example >

define('_PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAME','Displaynamehere's an example description');


note the escape character \ before the apostrophe in here's, which is needed when the define is enclosed in single quotes and not double quotes.
