Maybe I stated my opinion a little too strongly. The bottom line is, I’m not old, and I don’t have an eye site problem or have cheap monitors and this forum is very uncomfortable to read and I don’t think the choice of colors is […]

Sorry you took it that way/

It never has. Yes, it is slightly better on one monitor, but no so much so that I would risk that everyone will be able to see […]

Why light blue on white? Seriously, just about any design person […]

Sorry, no link to show since I can’t exactly leave it on my live site like that. Is this a bug? […]

There are many occasions where I had to use a middle initial, or other combination to have my name registered. It’s still much easier for others to find, than an obscure string of letters that only has meaning to me. I’m not saying that the […]

Thank you. At least someone gets it!
In the real world people don’t communicate in usernames.

In the real world, real names are actually the norm. Usernames are the exception or option. Doesn’t it seem strange that I have to hire […]

I have only been using BP/MU for 3 months and Wordpress for over 3 years, and the first couple of sites that I built, the username thing didn’t bother me, I assumed it was a setting or something that I overlooked. it was only while […]

And I’m not spouting paranoid conspiracy theories, I’m stating real world applications. what I am looking for is a way to list members in the directory by their real names. If I build one of these for a real company or organization, they don’t want their […]

Anyone that is blogging as a […]

You can’t use caps or spaces when creating a username and Buddypress uses usernames..so how can I let me people use their real names. No usernames anywhere. I don’t want them to show anywhere on the site, only for log in purposes. It’s over complicated. why not just use your name, […]

Yes, I know that if you view the individual users profile, you wiil see their real name, but throughout the rest of the site, they are referred to by their user name. They are listed by their username. They are referred to in […]

Everywhere. Across the whole site members are referred to by their username. You can only see their real name if you open their profile. So everywhere where there is activity from that user, it refers to them by the username. It doesn’t say “John smith” just made a new post, it says “adfas9343 just […]

You can’t put your real name in the “Username” field because it won’t let you write normally with capitol letters and spaces. The real names in the profile field don’t show up throughout the site so […]

It is REALLY hard to read. Definitely not something I would do on my own sites.
