How would I go about changing the appearance of a mention to be instead of @usernamefieldhere to @fullnamefieldhere.
For example @OverseersMight would be @ John Doe. (If my name was john doe)
Sorry for the mention john didn’t mean to mention you…

Hello,
Currently there is no this kind of option in Discourse but maybe this topic could be helpful ⬇

> It would look more elegent in posts if @leo (for example) was presented as (or at least the user had the option to present it as) “Leo” or “Leo McArdle”.

I think that if you don’t want people to use usernames then what your should do is get a plugin that makes the username be the same as first\_last.

Any links to this plugin @pfaffman? I also found this,

> @nachof I found a way to make it work: [Use fullnames for mentions · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/jessicah/cd580bab64d89875a157579789b03511) by overriding \_show() in component:user-card-contents. I’m guessing the leading underscore means we probably shouldn’t override it? But it seems to work: Perhaps there needs to be an entry point to optionally get the username from $target? Anyway, this was really a blocker from my POV to deploying to my wider community. Time to roll ahead smiley
Which also seems to work.
Thank you for being such a great contributor to this community.

Wow. Looks cool. That’s a better solution than mine since it doesn’t require a non-existent plugin. I’m not very good at thinking of solutions that involve Ember/javascript. Good work!
