Do you mean the display name? 'cause the username that they login with can't be changed!

Based on the topic description, I'd guess it's Display Name Hi Stephanie. Would you want the member to be able to change it once (for example, just after they have registered) but then not change it again after that? Or are we looking at disabling it altogether?

Sure Just put this in your Main Footer Code: Select All <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if(document.profile_form && !document.profile_form.posts) { if(document.profile_form.display_name.value != document.profile_form.user.value) { document.profile_form.display_name.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; } } //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if(document.profile_form && !document.profile_form.posts) { if(document.profile_form.display_name.value != document.profile_form.user.value) { document.profile_form.display_name.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; } } //--> </script>
