Messegebord plugin shows the users login username instead of the users name

[Dustie]

When adding a message the username (used when logging in) is shown in the message. Not the name normally shown on the site.

Fx. if my login is "testuser" and password "123456" and my username is "Dustie", the message board shows "testuser" whereas the rest of the site shows me as "Dustie". I guess the whole point on having a separate login name and a username is for security and since users have no idea who posted the message i marked it as critical.

Its in Elgg 1.2 but i can't seem to chose anything but 1.0 and 1.1 in here.

Found a old ticket where it is fixed. Closing - Sorry =)

As of svn 803, the messageboard is still using usernames rather than display names.

I also cannot find the ticket that Dustie is referring to.

And there are no emails being sent out from the extensions tracker like there is with the core tracker.

Fixed in the plugins released with Elgg 1.5
