I have some users with a long and hard nickname, and therefor I assigned them a shorter version as the username.

The problem is that the username gets displayed when they post a entry, and not the real nickname. I tried to switch < MTEntryAuthor$ > to < MTEntryAuthorNickname$ >, but it still displays the username.

How do I get it to display the Nickname instead?

Did you add the nicknames to the Nickname field in their user profiles?

Yes.

Are you using either both $ in the tag, or neither? You can't just have one $ as you've shown here.

That solved the problem. But, the < MTEntryAuthor$ > would still work without the extra $, strange o_O

Anway, I'm happy now. Thanks.

Thats what I get for assuming. I figured the missing $ was just a typo in the post..
