 A user has a username, there is also a nickname and a displayname. Why is
 there a displayname when when the username is shown in the browser on the
 bottom left ?
 I thought that the displayname would have hidden the real username from
 people trying to break into the system.
 Can the system be changed to use the displayname as the path it shows in
 the link?.
