   How can I change if ($comment->user_id) {$user=$comment->user_id; echo $user} to output a nice name instead of the ID?

   I've tried using $user_identity but haven't been able to get it to work.

   Basically if the commenter was a registered user I want to output their name on the comment.

   Any help, please? :-)

   This should do what you want:

   if ($comment->user_id) {$userdata=get_userdata($comment->user_id); echo $userdata->display_name}

   Worked like a dream! Many thanks!

   For anyone else, there's missing semi-colon :-)

   <?php if ($comment->user_id) {$userdata=get_userdata($comment->user_id); echo $userdata->display_name;}?>
