'x' users are browsing this forum problem

[Vanto]

I've noticed some weeks ago that users' past username appear on the ''x' users are browsing this forum' part. This affects those who have changed their username and appear their past username, not the new one. This problem doesn't affect moderators.

They have only changed their display names. They still have the original username that is used to log-in and show up on "members browsing this forum". Moderators have the option to fully change name, but members can only change name that shows up on posts or profiles.

This isn't exactly a problem, it's intentional. When you change your username in the Control Panel, then you only change your display name; the login name does not change. The names that can be seen in the userlist are login names, not display names. Staff members can request changes to both.

 

EDIT: Beaten.
