The display name field is first.  If that got autofilled with your email, it wasn't the forum that did that.  It was your browser.

Funny, i have never experienced my browser do that. Why is this place the first time that have ever happened? And i cant change my nickname either until after 50 posts. Strange rule dont you think?

What if i put in some strange name like Dick Johnson, but then regret.. "oh noes, its emby forum, not "badjokes.com". Do you really want that weird name all over your message board before youre able to change it?

What i introduced myself as Ivana Humpalot from Russia, but realized i mixed up the emby forum for the LGTQB+ forum, do you still think its a good idea with the 50 posts rule before you can change your nick?

Whats the point of that rule?

You were already advised that an admin has to do that (and it is clearly stated under Member group privileges).

An admin needs to do that. @Abobader

Rookie member group cannot change Display name.

Really?  Almost every modern browser has autofill forms.

How would the forum know your email address before you entered it?

I entered it in the email form.. not the name form.. that it "magically" ended up there is quite baffling because i didnt write it twice and im yet to have my browser auto-fill my email anywhere else.
