Portal "Latest Discussions" block not showing Guest name

[GTB]

I've just noticed something. In the block on the portal page called "Latest Discussions". If it displays a post by made by a Guest from a forum board that allows guests posts. It doesn't display the name used by the guest. On the forum "Recently Added Topics" block though it does no problem.

Take a look at the screen-shot below, I've highlighted it in yellow.

Has nobody got a fix for this? Because there are no permission settings for that Block to even stop Guests posts made on a forum board from appearing in that portal block.

Most forums don't allow guests to post so it isn't an issue.

If you have IP Content then you can create your Recent Topics block. With that you can exclude forums that recent topics get pulled from. Using that you could only pull topics from forums where guests can't post.

Ok great. :) I haven't sifted through all the IPB bugs reported lately so I wasn't sure from this topic if it had been reported or not yet.
