Default How do I let users add their real name in ()'s next to their username?

How do I let users add their real name in ()'s next to their username?

On some vBulletin forums, I've seen something like this for the format of usernames next to posts....
dark_knight872 (David)
Username (Real Name)

How do I get it to show up in threads like that on MY vBulletin forum?

Here is the URL of a forum that's like this:

Do a profile field for their real name and call the profile field in the postbit.

Just add a new profile field for their first name. Remember the field ID and then put this code where you want it to show up in your postbit. Remember to change the x to your fieldID that you made.

<if condition="$post['fieldx']"><div class="postinfo">$post[fieldx]</div></if>

No matter what I do to the postbit in the templates section of the Admin control panel, it seems like nothing is changing. Any idea why?

Are you changing the correct postbit? There is postbit, for when the user info is on the top, and postbit_legacy, for when the user info is to the left.

Thank you! HAHA! I didn't know that! I was changing the wrong one, Lynne!
