I’m not trying to be rude or insulting to anyone. 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 […]

I’ve looked at it on 3 different monitors and on different settings and light blue still doesn’t show up well against white, no matter how you slice it. 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 […]

Am I the only one having a problem with the widget? Everything is on top of each other and smashed together. Is it just me, I can’t believe no one would have mentioned it. Sorry, no link to show since I can’t exactly leave it on my live site like that. Is this a bug? […]

Every other system does just fine with duplicate real names. 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 […]

So, maybe it was intended to work “the right way” it’s just not functioning properly?

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

You know what’s funny, is that everyone is acting like using real names is some weird out of the ordinary thing that no one in their right mind would want. 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 agree that something so obvious shouldn’t be that hard. 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 […]

I don’t have a solution, I’m looking for one. 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 […]

I’m not going to insult the decision to code it that way, and I love the software and appreciate the work, but a community of usernames works great for forums, Developers, and game geeks, but organizations of regular people, search directories for their colleagues names, not their WOW monikers. Anyone that is blogging as a […]

How is it possible? 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, […]

No I don’t have that installed ( never even heard of it). 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 […]

Where? 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 […]

I think the redesign is O.K., but the most noticeable issue is the light blue text on the white background. It is REALLY hard to read. Definitely not something I would do on my own sites.
