Is it possible to do this.  I created a new field for when members register that they enter their First & Last Name.  Is it possible to have that show instead of the username when they make posts on the board.

not easily....

Why don't you just change your registration text and tell the users to user their real names when entering their screen name?

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.

Thats a good Idea, can you tell me how I do that?

Thanks

In your forums root directory should be a file called agreement.txt. Thats the text that loads when a member wants to register.

Also way is to enabled members to change display names via (admin > configuration > features and options).

Than they can login as their username, and go to (profile > modify profile > account settings) and change their display name, the name that everybody in the forum will see them as.
