Gonna be totally honest, I didn't even know about this.
 When you register, you have two options. You can choose a login name and also the name that everyone else sees. Eh. Just seems a bit confusing to me. However, it does explain why sometimes people in the layouts section have different usernames than what shows up in their profiles. |

Ok. Here's how it goes.
You know how people register but then later, they want to change their name? Well, instead of completely unregistering that user name, they can simply keep it and change their display name so they don't lose their old posts and keep their PPD, PM's, and what not. Changing their display name will change the name seen on all your posts, even previous ones. Get it?
