Thanks for the reply. Just to make sure I am clear, when a user registers they get a confirmation email. I am just worried about users that do not. How would a user request the system send a new email? It is very possible that the ability is there, but I have overlooked it.

WP version – 3.3.1
BP version – 1.5.4

This is a (fairly) new install and have only tried to resend the confirmation email since posting yesterday.

I’m ashamed to say that I have not tried those troubleshooting suggestions yet. I will give those a try in a few minutes and see what I can find.

At this point I am convinced that I have simply overlooked the ability to resend the confirmation email and that this isn’t something missing. Ill start turning things off and see if I am able to locate that.

I just wanted to give an update in case others are having this issue. The URLs and various places where it was showing my login name instead of my display name, they were pulling from the user_nicename filed from the users table in the DB. Once I (manually) changed that field everything was set.

Well crap. I just noticed that when looking at the user profile the URL has the username in it. I guess I need to use a second account.

What I am trying to do is use the admin account as my primary account, but I do not want users to know what my username is. I was hoping using the nickname would fix that.
