Display username on site

Which file should I edit if I want to display the username on the site? Maybe at the top right hand side of the site.

Thanks.

What is it that you are trying to accomplish? Displaying the currently logged in user of the person that is logged in on their own browser. Or are you trying to display all users?

Thanks for the reply guys . I was trying to display the currently logged in user of the person that is logged in on their own browser. Managed to solve it by adding the welcome text to the header file.

Also is there an easy way to add captcha for the site. A short tutorial which might have steps I can run through.

There's a CAPTCHA plugin - search the Downloads area. You've been using it when you made your posts here on the forum, since you aren't logged in.

bye, Dirk

Btw, a somewhat nicer way would be to call COM_getDisplayName(), since that function would also figure out whether to display the short username or the real name, according to the current settings.
