Hi,

I’ve figured how to enable and show names alongside with usernames.

But on my forum it looks like this:

And here looks like this:

So name comes first.

I’ve searched inside settings and couldn’t find it.

Does anyone knows?

Thanks!

Disable the `prioritize username in ux` site setting

Hum ok. Just saw [this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/prioritizing-full-name-vs-username-in-the-ux/45415) so it’s pretty new. Will upgrade to the latest version.

You also need to enable `display name on posts` under posting in settings.
