Displaying Nickname instead of Username.

    On the Activity Page, I can see two tabs; one for All Members and one for @Username Mentions. Is it possible to change the Username to Nickname or Display Name?

    The rest of the application shows nickname/display name everywhere else, except for that tab.

    Edit – I can see my Username when I am looking at a group if I am the owner of the group.

    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. =)

    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.
