Login Name showing, not Display Name

Upgraded from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0 when 2.3.0 Final was released and instead of displaying all the users DISPLAY NAMES, it is displaying their LOGIN NAMES.

I've probably looked right over it, but where is the setting to change that? Cause in the 2.2.3 version that's how I had it.

You should upgrade to 2.3.1.

There appears to be no setting for this. It will mean editing a template perhaps.


The block is displaying the uname data for the user. I would like it to display the name data from the database.

Someone who knows please chip in soon. This is a full stop for the site I wanted back up in a couple of hours.

The issue cascades through all modules.

Posts that were previously identified by a full display name in 2.2.x e.g. John Smith of ABC Co. are now identified by the username that was set by the member at registration, can contain no spaces, and might be anything at all.

This can be combated by a setting in CBB3.08 with a preference to show the realname of the member in the post.

A little more searching on this "issue" reveals this information. Not news to developers, but news to me.
