Show real names on about page and enable hiding of users

Isn’t this the way it already works? I am supremely confused!

https://meta.discourse.org/about

It’s a recent change (by techapj), so maybe @tobiaseigen hasn’t seen it yet :slight_smile:

I have seen the about page - the about page shows not just the real names but also the usernames, and gives the usernames prominence. What I am asking for is the ability to not show the usernames there, to avoid confusing my users who mostly don’t know or understand forum culture with its cool usernames/aliases.

Sorry for the confusion. :blush:

.about span.username { display: none; }

sweet! :lollipop: problem solved.

this doesn’t seem to work on mobile? still shows usernames. any thoughts?

to replicate, visit https://forum.kabissa.org/about on laptop and on mobile. no usernames on laptop, but yes usernames on mobile.

Do you have to add that CSS to a mobile CSS section too? @sam? It seems to have the same hierarchy…

Yes you would need to make the equivalent change in the mobile css too.

Can someone tell me where this Real Names setting is? We would like to show Full Name everywhere as right now it shows unfriendly (sso) username.

Search for “full name required” and “enable names” in the admin settings.

I updated /about page to make the name/username display consistent with what we have on posts.
