   Hi

   Just fixing the Moderation Hold plugin to update 'Last Poster' correctly when a post is approved.

   I see the users table has 3 name fields for each user: user_login, user_nicename, display_name. (When integrated with WP, wp_users has the same fields).

   It looks like the display_name field never gets populated, so which name should I use? What purpose does user_nicename serve?

   Thanks!

   We use user_login to identify users in display.

   user_nicename is used for the url in the user's profile page when using pretty permalinks. It is basically the user_login filtered to conform to URL standards.

   display_name is not populated in bbPress at the moment.
