Login Name (between 3 and 16 characters alphanumeric only)


Display Name (between 3 and 30 characters alphanumeric only)


People get really confused at registration time. If they use 2 different names, they might forget one of them. If they tell their display name, can admin find their login name?

If they have cookies, after a while they will forget the login name, as they only see the display name.

PLEASE, is ther an option how to force both to be the same? NOT login paula17 and display mario2

They can choose what they want when they signup - the option to disable users from being able to change it is in the config file.

no, I want to turn off the option at signup. Just tell them to pick a name and use it automatically for both login and display names.

People don't even have a clue what a login and display name are.

I have no need for this feature. Creates only confusion!!! KISS!! keep it simple stupid.

My visitors are not geeks or programmers. Just dumb people wanting to chat on a forum.

I'm starting to see how that's a priority for you.
You could edit it from the newuser_signup.tmpl I believe, because, if no display name is specified, then it uses the login name.

You should be able to comment out or remove this:



Power to the templates - the whole point in templating everything is so that it's easy (with a little HTML knowledge) to remove stuff etc.... Generally the HTML you're looking for is in the template of the same/similar name to the script where it's displayed.

I've clarified things by making the syntax checks identical for the login name and display name, and adding a note that the display name defaults to the login name.

I hope it will work all right with the registrations.

At least the template and the new user page look ok!!
