Christoffer Müller said:Hi all - and thank you all for your help in this matter...
It seems to be working now, following the solution given above.. It took some time figuring out which bit of code to change as there were 3 statements like 'echo $comment->userName;' following each other..

If others wants the same change, the item.php (in my case) file is located under [J!installation]/templates/[your template folder]/html/com_k2/templates/default/
- the bit of (working) code looks like the attached picture

Just to confirm the solutions by Lefteris Kavadas and Christopher work perfectly. Thanks

This would be a really great addition.  I'm quietly going nuts trying to deliver on the promise of anonymity for commenters.  Is there a chance this will be in an update , please ?

This is something that can be added on your Joomla! template really, in the place where you override the MVC template of the module. We'll add it in 2.4 as an option on mod_k2_comments ;)

I have this working too, Thanks

 

Though using 2.4.1 and cant see it as a setting in the back as suggested in fotis's post

Also for anyone else interested, I use the comments module, this too needs changing if you want to display the username.

 

I searched for "written by" and changed the same piece of code below it.

 

Found in modules/mod_k2_comments/tmpl/comments.php

 

Could someone please add a comment with the most recent fixes to this issue? I allso would love it if mod_k2_content would display usernames instead of names. Is this an option? And how could i achieve the author name to link to jomsocial profile instead of k2 user? I need to echo the author userID in the mod_k2_content but i dont know how.
