Option to display real name rather than user name
It would be nice to have an option to display your real name rather than your user name in listings of people.
I’m optimistic

Inappropriate?We agree that sometimes only viewing a username can be confusing especially over SMS. Realname/Username is feature we plan on improving.1 Comment

have you guys added this functionality? just wanted to check as Brady's reply is a year old... -
Inappropriate?Hi fang, when you search people on Brightkite the results list both the username and real name (if available).
It does this in the iPhone app as well, but I noticed we don't have real names in the mobile site or iPhone web app yet, so we will look into adding this in there.

hi Lesley. many thanks for the awesomely swift reply. i downloaded the app first, then joined the site, but the app doesn't seem to want to let me log in - even though i've confirmed the details with the confirmation email etc? any ideas? i'll try rebooting the iphone, maybe that could be the problem - just wondered if you had any pointers.

Hmm, is your username "fang" on Brightkite too? I can check it out.
-
Inappropriate?well, this could be where the mishap has occured - as i googled brightkite with the intention of simply joining up there - thinking *that* was the problem, however - a pop up flash-type window appeared, and i entered my details there, and suddenly i'm a member of getsatisfaction.com - so i'm now totally lost!
but to answer your question, (i have a habit of babbling innanely - see, i'm doing it again!) i allowed brightkite to access my facebook profile name (fang akapaddy) but thought that regardless, if i joined brightkite i could use that name 'fang' as my default name.
i'll go try that now. i'd hate to be lumbered with that though (bearing in mind that i'd not joined the site at that point, only allowed it to log in using my f/b name)
c*nfused.com! =/
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?Sorry for the confusion, Get Satisfaction is a different site and requires a separate login.
Just to make sure, are both of these you?
If so, the easiest solution would be for me to delete "FangA" and reset your password for "fang" so that you can log in. If that sounds like a plan, just let me know. :) -
-
Inappropriate?ps: just read your footnote post - that would be wonderfully helpful Lesley if you could. i can't understand why neither works, or indeed how i ended up joining two sites when i thought i was joining one! *dizzy*
thanks in advance for all your help! -
Inappropriate?Okay, since only "FangA" is you, it will probably be easiest for you to do the following:
1) On a computer go to http://brightkite.com and click "Log in using Facebook" (that should log you in no problem to "FangA")
2) Once logged in, on the left side click "Account Settings"
3) In your profile tab, enter an email address and click SAVE down at the bottom
4) In your password tab, enter a password and click SAVE
After that you should be able to log into the app and anywhere else with your username and newly created password. You can also still use the Facebook login on the main website.
I hope that helps.
