Don't mind me. For future reference: Copied blatantly from base.html, added this field to the form.html <input type="hidden" name="user_name" value="{% firstof user.first_name user.username %}" /> and removed the URL, email and name fields from the if field.errors part of the loop. cheers L. -- ...we look at the present day through a rear-view mirror.
