Forum moderator screen names don’t update?

It seems when I update a screen name—if that user is assigned as a forum moderator, his screen name isn’t updated in the list of moderators for that forum.

I’m not quite sure if this is a ‘bug’ or a ‘feature request’—of if perhaps something is wonky just with my site? (I’m having to re-save my moderators in order to have their new screen name show up)

Which build of the forum are you using? Have you created a new forum theme? Does the problem happen with one of the themes that ships with EE?

We just upgraded everything a few days ago. We’re using a custom theme, but the code in the template is essentially:

{if forum_moderators}{moderators}{name}{/moderators}{/if}

And when I went to Admin > Forums > User Management > Moderators—and then clicked “Edit” and “Save”—then the new name would show up. Meaning, the old name also showed up in the Admin interface too.

Yes, I can replicate this problem in EE forum version 2.1.1. I’ll report this and let you know what I find out.

Replicating here as well, turnstyle.  I’m going to shift this to the bug forum and update once I’ve taken a closer look.

Thanks for the report, turnstyle.  We’ve got a fix committed for the next version.
