[Feature]: Allow users to use their Mii nickname on the forum #352
Description
Checked Existing
- I have checked the repository for duplicate issues.
What feature do you want to see added?
Basically, what I want is to allow users to display their Mii's nickname on the forum, alongside their PNID.
It would be similar to how Roblox DevForum handles it, where your display name is set as your name and your username on Roblox is set as your username on the forum.
Why do you want to have this feature?
Essentially just to reduce confusion. Some of us have long usernames and people don't always know what to call us.
Take me for example, I'm known as GamersInternatio on the forum and it can be confusing to figure out what a user should call me: Gamers, Gamer, or even Intern as I found out earlier. By allowing users to use their Mii nicknames on the forum, this will ease confusion as users will know that they're able to call me 'Flynn' instead.
Any other details to share? (OPTIONAL)
Based on what I could gather from a quick check, this would literally only require a line change.
Currently name = accountData.username but in the future, we can use name = accountData.mii_name instead and enable SiteSetting.auth_overrides_name.
