Hello WEbwiz'ers

I am trying to modify the registration page that would require users to register user names to be true first name and last name.  We are a professional organization and this requirement will make identifying other members easier.  How can I do this and what is the best solution?  Thanks!

You could edit the language_files/language_file_inc.asp and change 'Username' to 'Full Name'. This would then change this throughout the forum.

It is not an option in the admin area, you would need to go to the file Bruce mentioned and open it in a text editor such as Notepad.

The file is located in the forum foler in the language_files folder and is called language_file_inc.asp

Open this file in Windows Notepad and locate the text you want to change.
