[LON-CAPA-users] unique usernames and discussion board

[Todd Ruskell]

Mike,

CSM also uses the uniquely assigned email address for each student as the
username.

One possibility that occured to me was the use of the screenname/nickname
fields in "Pref"s.  I just tried it, and it seems that if you give
yourself a new nickname, then your username/domain still shows up.  This
isn't exactly what I expected.  I guess I thought the nickname/screenname
fields would override the display of username/domain for other students.
Thoughts on this one?

One final note, discussion is only broken for ie, using "normal" feedback.
Everything else, including "wysiwyg" editor feedback still seemed to work.
