Group forums posts email don't show user name of who posted

[Simha Bode]

I facilitate a group for Gaia University. It used to be that when someone posted in a forum it would send it out as an email to all the members and it would include the user name of the one who posted. Now the user name of the one posting is not displayed in the email. This is a bit annoying to not know who is posting when you get an email.

Hello Simha,

Which version of Mahara are you using? For Mahara.org (1.9), I do get the usernames and realnames displayed. I think that is only though because I am a site administrator.

Could you please provide a screenshot of what it looks like for you? Do you still see the name of the people in the "From" field?

Thanks
Kristina

I can confirm that the name of the person posting a forum post is not displayed anymore. Instead it seems to be the site name for Mahara 1.10. I suspect the behavior is also for 15.04, but there is bug #1406372 which prevents me from testing it.

I attach a screenshot of what it looks like.

Make sure the forum post emails show the poster's name (Bug 1405427)
