Hi, I’m not sure if this is a bug or me not understanding, but disabling `prioritize username in ux` with the intention of showing the **Name** field by default works everywhere except in the post stream. This appears to be an issue with just my site, as here on Discourse Meta I can see that it’s working.

I think you may want to toggle on `display name on posts` as well. 👍

Oops! Sorry, I swear I searched for that option but I guess I didn’t find it… :facepalm:
