Hey! Just wanted to share a weird case: On our forum e don’t really enforce the setting of a “name” for the user, so when google tries to index, it complains with:

> Missing field “name” (in “author”)
> 
> Items with this issue are invalid. Invalid items are not eligible for Google Search’s rich results

I am not sure if there’s a way for us to say the username is the name?
