Thanks, modemlooper. I think that would have worked if I tried to figure it out. User ‘aces’ posted a reply in another thread with the link below though. It was exactly what I needed

Wow, that first link actually worked! I didn’t expect to find an answer. Thanks very, very much, aces!

I thought so too, but the Name field is set as ‘required’ and there is no option to delete it.

Is there another solution?

[RaMatheron]

Nope, that breaks my site. Thanks for thinking with me though

I’m bumping this topic. I’d like to know too if I can just limit the names for my members to the username. I don’t understand why the ‘Name’ field is required and can’t be turned off…

Can someone help?
