Hello!

Some times members registers using their own surname and later regeret it, even after we have deleted the account.

A deleted member shows up as Guest_[Previous display name]_*

Hot can I change the "Previous display name" so it can not be associated with the real person?

I suppose the only way to change that name is through PhpMyAdmin. 

Looking at a ibf_post the  author_name is the display name not the "Guest..." name.

Thanks

Members > Group settings > Permissions > Display name changes ..  will this do ?

Members can change their own display name then ..

I did a search in ibf_posts on author_name and changed all instances of it. As the post diplays Guest_[Author_name]_*

 

Open table forum_posts, search and edit publication

Once a user is "deleted", it is no longer possible to edit their username/display name from the ACP. Yes, unfortunately, running a MySQL query is the only way to change this.

It's an easy MySQL query though and if you have issues with it, many can help you.  

Hi.

Can it be done in the templates ?

Wich one is it?

I need to take off "Foreroz" from here "Invitado / Foreroz".

It means "Guest / Foreroz" and the member Foreroz is not longer a member of our forum and he didnt want that is user name appear.

And I have the same "problem" with many others ex-members

 

Thanks.
