I believe, username can not be made visible to other users in their profile. Admin can see that in their profile.

you're right, i cant click to set it on profile view.

As admin i need both username and real name to checking reported member.

My member is just ordinary people they doesnt know what is url that contain their username. the best option is showing their username on their profile

any idea how to showing username on profile?

I believe by editing the database, you can achieve that. But needs more attention when playing with database.

any easy way to make it show? :D

I have the same problem for a long time. In a profile the username is not been showing. At signup I put off the option for the realname because of the anonymity I wanna have for the users. But when switch wich has to be showing  in this case the username...only the admins can see it.

How can this been fixed?

Have u tried to use: OPEN URL-> yoursite. com/admin/questions/index
click edit on the right corner of username tab


then u will see

Yeah, I cant tick on profile view, i guess you too cant tick that cit27

I need username because it's the only Uniqeu id

Yes you are right we cant tick that
But if u want to edit the user profile ..
Tick on User Profile Edit then go to user profile and edit their username...or if u want to let users can change their user name...

According to SEO it is recommended not to enable the editable username....in related to search engine..(if  YOU set your site page as public view),

By disable can olso avoid the bad user who always change the username and become spammer and
By enable Admin will get a new heavy duty to check the bad users

But I also hope that if the username can be displayed on profile view ..or...hope if the next update can be changed

Yup, that's why Im not going to enable editing username. Is there any way to change any specific file without editing the database

Ben,

>>As admin i need both username and real name to checking reported member.

I don't really understand why would you need to modify anything.
Users themselves can see their own username when they click "edit my profile"  button.

Admin sees usernames on users' profile page.

To search specific member directly i need username because it's the only unique id. that's why i ask my user who want to report other user to include on their report their own username and  other person's username which will be reported.

so my user have to see the others user username. bcoz it's the only unique id.

and username is on the url. I already make tutorial with picture how to get other user username but they still dont get it.

>>that's why i ask my user who want to report other user to include on their report their own username and  other person's username which will be reported.

I think that it will be much easier if:

Let's say user "James" is reporting on user "Jack":
1.ask James to click "edit" on his profile and copy/paste content of the "Username" field.

2. ask James just to send you the URL of the Jack's profile.

P.S. Have you tried using "Flag" feature ?  It allows your site users to "Flag"=report to admin inappropriate content ( like blog posts, pictures, videos and etc.) just by clicking on "Flag" button.

allia,,,if you talking to me, to cit27, or to purus i'm sure we all got you. Its different If you talking with ordinary people, old people user by age i mean. they dont understand what you point

before 1.5 version user complain about they dont have send button to sending PM. I told them to hit the PM box to show send button and they still confuse. It's really good you fix this in 1.5

Hi. Any advances in solving this issue. I also would like the username to be shown (bu not edited!). The tick box does not allow it.

Miguel,  making usernames publicly visible will result in a lot of privacy and security issues. That is why we are not going to make this field visible to everybody.

It is very important to understand here that usernames are visible right now, but only to the profile owner, admin + moderator with admin rights.

>> I also would like the username to be shown (bu not edited!). The tick box does not allow it.

Why would you like to have this field to be shown ( to everybody)?

username is on the url, anyone can see it. To search specific member directly you'll need username because it's the only unique id.

P.S. Have you tried using "Flag" feature ?  It allows your site users to "Flag"=report to admin inappropriate content ( like blog posts, pictures, videos and etc.) just by clicking on "Flag" button.

If flag feature available for reporting user profile i dont need username anymore.
