I really like the feature which gives invited people the ability to post immediately they have visit a Discourse forum.

Would it be possible to incorporate a step in the process so they get to choose their own user name before submitting their post rather than have one allocated to them on the basis of their email address?

Many people wouldn’t want to use their email address as the basis of a forum user name.
