Thanks for the report @kuhnchris!

Ah, beat me to it. 😄 good catch!

So what probably happened is that the options below were checked by default causing the name to be rendered Anonymous

For Activities we track user action which doesn't taken into account if the funder has selected hide options.

We could either

• remove those options
  (personally I don't think we would need it cause it openness == transparency )
• update the Activity to keep track of that ( which might be a bit more tricker )

Here is the API response for that bounty :

That seems redundant at best. if any of those values is not "Anonymous" then it wouldn't make sense to hide 'any' of em...

[thelostone-mc]

So we always display the github username in the activities stream but on the footer we display the name of the funder which in this case @PixelantDesign has chosed to hide which is why that is anonymous.

The most sensible thing at this point in my head is

• Show the github username as opposed to the name of the funder in the funder info.
• Or do a check to see if funder doesn't want his name to be shown -> instead show github username

[frankchen07]

I like your thought that the default should be showing the Github username - let's implement that.

As for checking to see if the funder wants his/her full name shown, I want to open another ticket and place it to the greater team on removing the anonymity function on the funder form completely, since it's not truly anonymous. It's also adds another concerning decision point for the funder to make about their data.

Anonymous only works if it's completely carried throughout the "All Activity" section and throughout Github (which isn't possible). To me, it doesn't make sense to be in open source, funding issues, and remain anonymous - that's sort of the reputation part of open source.
