Is there any way to amend the registration page so that Forename and surname are listed and are required fields?

Not being difficult but do you really think that people would post their real name in a forum?

It would either put them of completely from registering or they would invent a fictional name........

That's what I would do definitely............ no way I would anywhere register with my real details.

Well I'm fairly sure that it can't be done

Maybe you could ask about it in fMods
They might be able to make something for you ........maybe there even is a mod......... no idea as I never even thought about this......... best if you ask there.

Good luck

I highly doubt that this is possible, because the new entries need to be saved in the DB, you need a modified database.

It is not neccessary to add only name and surname fields.
I would like to add some other fields identifying the registered members, as it is students and graduates oriented forum.

Well it's up to you.......... the only people who might be able to make it possible are at the fMods, go and ask about it there.

Good luck.
