Revert all display names to original username?

Hi. For over a year, I've allowed users to change their display names at will. However, as with anything, this freedom is now being abused and it's making forum management more difficult (users impersonating others, etc.). I've disabled the display name change option, but I'd also like to revert all display names to their respective original usernames. Is this something that must be done in phpMyAdmin? If so, how?

Thanks.

Just run a query:

UPDATE smf_members SET real_name = member_name

(where smf_members is the name of your member table)

Thanks for the reply. I'll give this a try...
