I am using YAF in a DNN installation. I have enabled the option for enable display name but it instead shows the DNN username. This is an issue because in my site, the username is the same as the email address so in a forum, the user's email address is displayed as the username.

So I want to use the DNN display name as the YAF displayed name.

Thanks.

Also, is there a way to integrate user photos or other fields into the YAF forum. I would like to handle the profile information through DNN and have it automatically port to YAF.

Do you have any idea when the next update will be available that fixes these issues?

Thanks for the reply.
