This is especially useful for the admin users, as I don’t want anybody to see the usernames used for the admin accounts for security.

Are there any plugins or anything that would allow a user to create their own @name, as I…[Read more]

I’ve taken a look at those, and it seems that most of them are about changing the way it is shown, but I’m happy for the username to be shown, which is how it is done in the system (joej), but on the profile it is showing the display name (Joe Jenkins).

Which file deals with showing the top half of the profile, where it has the…[Read more]

There isn’t a problem so much […]

However, I am concerned about the username […]

@StevieG is your login name on here right? You should get notified of this reply because I @’d you. That’s how it works on every BP site.

There is a plugin that forces @username everywhere.

I think its confusing that when you are viewing the activity stream you see a name. if you want to do an @ in a reply, you have to go to the person’s profile to find their @name and then back to where you were to leave the reply/comment. Anyway ideas to work a way […]

That way, email notifications go to the right member, without an ” @name” being supplied. I don’t know what would have to happen to transition from the ‘whole-site-activity wall ONLY’ concept to having that /PLUS/ ‘members get their own wall too.’ It would be […]

This works by using “@name” in a activity update, this way the user that is mentioned gets notified and can react to it.
