For a forum where you want a real name to be shown, or a character name (for those boards for RPG's etc), it allows for the login name or username) to be hidden and ONLY the Display Name to be used.

If the username happens to be the Display name, all well and good, then the display name box remain empty.

From experience, people on vbulletin boards seldom link the username box to a real name at teh registration process, even when you ask them to do so.

Other boards like SMF, IPB, and all of those have this field by default and have done so for years and others have them as modification add-ons.

It is a MUCH NEEDED item as either a default item on the board (along with username) - preferable, or a mod that can be installed that does the same thing (although the downfall is each time VB releases updates the mod has to be fixed so the scripting all works).

To me there seems a very high demand for this which all other boards already have by default...

I have been looking and looking and looking for this function for my own board and have found absolutely none that do what they should AND work properly.
