Blocks the alternate Display Name functionality in bbPress 1.x to prevent spoofing other members/admin.
While some are fond of it, I've never liked the Display Name ability in WordPress as it's open to abuse.
Now that bbPress has it, here's a way to disable it if you wish. Forces the user's login name to be used always.
nice. thank you.
that was just what i was looking for
I love CK!
feedback though: - allow the full names to be seen on their profiles at least though
Great plugin. It works great!
However, for some reason I cannot call the user name from Wordpress (with the WP-BB synchronization method).
Is there a way around this?
Thanks CK!
Call me crazy, but doesn't obscuring the login name help prevent hacking attempts against the displayed account? Aside from the asthetic of a "nice" display name, that is the primary reason I can think of for using display names.
What about adding functionality to prevent spoofing, as an alternative to disabling display names?
chipbennett: Your username is very simple to figure out - it's your profile URL on most forums, and it's displayed on your profile page.
Ah, good point, Nightgunner5. That would require a ton of obfuscation to fix.
