Sorry for combining what ended up as two separate requests into one topic. For me they are both related to the presentation of staff on the about page.
I don’t disagree - it’s weird and I wish we didn’t have to do it. But we have no choice because we have private categories that admins shouldn’t see on a regular basis and there is no way to full-on hide those discussions from ourselves. So even we admins (there are two of us) only have moderator privileges which we use most of the time and then log in as the admin user to do site upgrades, manage settings and otherwise do stuff that we can’t do as moderators.
As I write these words, the idea comes to me that perhaps some sort of “sudo” would be nice - e.g. unlock the admin options by typing in your password again?
Ah yes this makes sense and I would like that. If Real Names is set on the admin area, then show real names instead of usernames everywhere including the about page.
