Hmm, I'm full of questions today 
One of our users has created an account and then discovered that his posts are attributed to his login, Lettuce, rather than his Name, Aimless User (1). What he has asked is is it possible to display his name rather than his login? Must be a Hack somewhere.
Incidentally the same user asked why he couldn't have Aimless User (1) as his login . . . When he tried it, it came up with invalid characters in login
Thanks again

The simplest solution would be to rename his account to his name in the admin control panel. Another option is to enable aliases, in which case each user can pick their "visible" name that is different from their login. This name is what their messages will be attributed to.
