We should probably go ahead and use the display_name() helper to show a user's display name instead of their user name (when it's set) on the discussion forums (probably elsewhere, too, but these are all small, good-first-bug bugs if we leave them separate). May want to wait for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663502, though with the 'private message' link on each post, maybe we don't need it.
Depends on: 674200
According to the discussion in bug 674200, the username must also be displayed with the display name.
We sometimes have to change usernames because the user picked an offensive one (Check the moderators forum). The idea that users can change the name that appears in the forums at any time is kinda frightening. The main problem is that users put their email address in the username field when registering. If we can fix that, I think we should get rid of the display name altogether.

Ricky, has this been resolved yet or are we still targeting for a later time?

(In reply to Feer56 (Andrew T.) from comment #4) > Ricky, has this been resolved yet or are we still targeting for a later time? Part of triaging should be checking yourself. I am seeing usernames and not display names used at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums

Just to confirm, Kadir is this something we still want to do?

Yeah, when we move to Persona we'll need to use the email address for logins and we should display the display name everywhere. I'll file another bug and make this depend on it.

Michał, we don't change the status to RESOLVED FIXED until it's actually deployed to production. That said, I just deployed this now to prod.

Oh Sorry :'(
