I'm running 2.0.13.2 aswell and that's where it is for me. Which version of news are you running?

I found this code in article.php

$story['poster'] = $article->uname();
if ( $story['poster'] ) {
$story['posterid'] = $article->uid();
$story['poster'] = '<a href="'.XOOPS_URL.'/userinfo.php?uid='.$story['posterid'].'">'.$story['poster'].'</a>';


and i wonder how I can hack the $story['poster'] to get the real name instead of the username

I don't run v1.1, but v1.4 and it's an admin option, about sixth line down. Maybe you could upgrade?

Do you know if it's possible to do the same but with the comments?
