I enabled to show full name next to the username. but only some answer/reply posts are showing both full name and username even when they do have both fields? The inconsistency is bugging me. Any ideas why?

(EDIT: Or perhaps your last post you were further explaining my answer…) Isaac’s username is not displayed because it is the same as his name: [image] It’s a feature. :wink: You can override it with a theme component, it seems: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javasc…

Hey @j3ang :slight_smile: Could you add a few examples for context? It would be helpful to narrow down the inconsistencies.

If the username and their full name are the same it doesn’t dispay both. Would that explain it? I thought that there was a “be noisy if username and real name match” site setting, but I can’t find it.

Hi @isaac , My settings are as following: [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.01.35] [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.04.08] On my site it would display as: [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.00.13@2x] but if I enabled the prioritize username in ux it would show like so: [CleanShot 2022-06-21 at 12.06]

What do you have for the prioritize username in ux setting?

Ah never mind. I found the views template: /var/www/discourse/app/views/embed/comments.html.erb

Why only some replies show fullname while others not?
