Instead of showing the username, show full real name in the posts and topics, so you can change it when you want...

No, mar77a is the username...i dont want to show my real name...my suggestion is to have user/nick different, and in posts and topcis, the nick is showed, but to login you use your user....

oh. that's pointless, cuz people would be changing their names constantly and you'd never know who they were...

i dont agree with mar77a's idea, but ill explain it for those of you who are confused:

he means that instead of showing our account names, like over on the left next to posts, have it show our real names, so it would show me as Ryan, or Ryan Rawdon, or whatever. this way i can change it, and instead of have it be Ryan Rawdon, i could have it be .:HT:. FliesLikeABrick in the unlikely even that i joined a clan.

The reason i dont support this is because then the forum would be like MSN, where everyone keeps changing their damned display names to the point i dont know who is who. its an idea, different from most, but i most definately do not want this because people would make a point out of confusing the hell out of others.

I think it would be a good idea if it displayed the username like it is now, and displayed the "real name" under it in small text, in the spot where the forum ranking is now. Or was that what the original idea was, but poorly communicated?

No, it wasnt the original, but due to what FLAB said, i think its the best...

So basically a custom title.. making users able to change the actual username would be quite retarded :P

Usually if you're on a forum which supports name changing their profile shows all of their old nicknames.
