    Member names not showing in About Me

    Are the Member names supposed to show in "About Me"?

    If so, how do I fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe this will help. We would like to see the member's name in the about me. It is a members only forum.



    Thanks in advance.

      I must not be understanding. I see "About webskipper" under the About Me heading.

          That sounds like something you added because it isn't default vbulletin. So, if you want it to show up there, you will have to modify the template to add it.

          If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

              Well, if you didn't add it, then I am not sure what you are talking about. This site is running all default, is it on here? Do you have an image of it? Could somebody else have added it?

                Ok rewind the 8 track.

                Now I don't know what you are talking about "adding".

                All I touched was the style sheet and customized other stuff via the admincp. Was that a crime?

                Are you referring to the additional user option fields? That was me and that was part of vBulletin.

                How is this so difficult to get an answer an how to do something?

                  Let me see if I understand what you want. Seems to me you want the users real name (not user name) listed under the about tab. Correct? If so, you just need to create a New User Profile Field, call it "Name" and set the display order to 1. You can make it required and show at registration if need be.

                    Yes, show real name plus username.

                    Works for me. Issue solved Thanks.
