Our forum ([https://forum.codingpirates.dk](https://forum.codingpirates.dk)) could not accept new signups because I had “full name required” was enabled, but the signup form does not contain the full name input field.

Custom fields is also in use, maybe this collides ?

Solved it for now by disabling the requirement, but I would really have this requirement back.

Enabling full name required breaks signup (blue button is disabled no matter what)

Okay, that seems to be because you disabled `enable names`, to have `full name required` you must also have `enable names` enabled.

Hmm ok.

I have require because I want to be able as admin to police a bit who signs up, but users should not know each others real names.

But yes, you are right - it resolves the problem. Full name input in signup form can be hidden but still required.
