Why has been real name removed from forum profile and Nexus?

This field was removed between 4-7 September. Ultimately it's a fairly small change but there is a good reason for it.

 

Firstly, we are in the process of upgrading this forum to the latest version of Invision Community and that involves breaking all the links/dependencies from other parts of the website. The data shown in the user area was being pulled directly from the forums. Once the forums are upgraded we'll also be looking at the other profile fields (such as Gender/Location/etc) and assess them.

 

Secondly, it was discussed internally that this was a piece of Personally Identifiable Information that there wasn't really any business reason to keep in the way it had been stored.

 

If you'd like to have your name displayed on your profile you can add it to the "About me" section.
