Can't Change User Profile Display Names

I'm running a Simple Press Forum on a site that is password protected with Digital Access Pass.

The members can't change their display names for the forum. When they try and change their display name it seems to go through ok, but as soon as they logout and log back in the changes go back to the way their were.

Is there any way to make the name changes permanent because not everyone wants their full name to be shown as their display name.

Let's do a quick check first on the option settings in the forum admin > profiles > options. Are you allowing them to set their forum display name? I assume this is the case but need to check.

Next question: does DAP force the first name/last name construct within the WP profile (NOT SP)? I know we have come across one that does but not sure if that was DAP. If DAP DOES force this - then do your users have the sync Wp and SP display name turned on in their individual SP user profiles?
