Introducing Commenter Name Formats

What's New

FastComments by default displays your username exactly as you entered it. Similarly, if your username was provided to us via SSO, we'll show that. We do support display labels to show alongside your username, but it does not replace your username.

Now, tenants can configure, on a site-wide or page-specific basis, how usernames will be displayed. For example, given the username "allen rex," we can instead automatically format it like:

• Capitalize (display allen rex as Allen Rex)
• Last Initial (display Allen Rex as Allen R.)
• All Initials (display Allen Red as A. R.)
• Show "Anonymous"

Documentation

This can be set up via the Customize page in your admin dashboard.

In Conclusion

We appreciate our customers who provide continuous feedback so that we can come up with ideas like this. We hope you continue to enjoy FastComments.

Cheers!
