I am still using phpbb 3.0.0 but will soon be upgrading to 3.0.7-PL1. I was wondering if there was a way to add to the note in the registration process telling new members that their user name needs to be a real name not some name like frumpypants, or acaiberry, etc.? Is there a way to do this? Thanks.<br /><br />-- Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:24 pm --<br /><br />I received this answer over at the phpBB forum:
