I enabled to show full name next to the username. but only some answer/reply posts are showing both full name and username even when they do have both fields? The inconsistency is bugging me. Any ideas why?

(EDIT: Or perhaps your last post you were further explaining my answer…) Isaac’s username is not displayed because it is the same as his name: [image] It’s a feature. :wink: You can override it with a theme component, it seems: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js#L664-L672

If the username and their full name are the same it doesn’t dispay both. Would that explain it? I thought that there was a “be noisy if username and real name match” site setting, but I can’t find it.

Hi @isaac , My settings are as following: [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.01.35] [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.04.08] On my site it would display as: [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.00.13@2x] but if I enabled the prioritize username in ux it would show like so: [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.06]

What do you have for the prioritize username in ux setting?

I see! Thanks. Would you be able to help me with this topic as well? How to display full name in comments embeds

Ah never mind. I found the views template: /var/www/discourse/app/views/embed/comments.html.erb

Why only some replies show fullname while others not?

Hey @j3ang

Could you add a few examples for context? It would be helpful to narrow down the inconsistencies.
