Customer name when logged in not email?

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to change what is displayed in the header or the my accounts area at the top of the screen when a customer is logged in.
Currently, when someone is logged in it displays their email address. I would like it to display their name.

CURRENTLY:
[email protected] | Log out | Shopping Cart (2) | Wishlist (0)

WHAT I WOULD LIKE:
John Smith | Log out | Shopping Cart (2) | Wishlist (0)

Go to Admin area > Configuration > Global Settings > Customer profiles tab. Set 'Customer name format' to 'Show full names'

I made the change above and even cleared the cache on the site but nothing changed. I also made sure to uncheck the box for allow user names.
Any ideas why this isn't working?

Ohh, it works fine for all other pages (forums posts, news comments, etc). But the full name is not shown in the header. Follow the next steps in order to display names:
1. Open \Modules\Header.ascx file
2. Replace "<%=Page.User.Identity.Name %>" with "NopContext.Current.User.FormatUserName()"

P.S. It didn't test it. But it should work

That worked perfect! Thank you so much for your help and excellent product!

Hi Andrei,
  with your suggested code, the page is showing the full name (Fistname LastName). Is there any setting to display only First name instead of Full name?

Thanks,
Prasad.

In this case use the following code "NopContext.Current.User.FirstName"

Works perfect! Thank you Andrei!

Sorry for my ignorance, can someone explain this for version 2.3?

Logging in with email address but displaying only first name in the header and blog comments.

Thanks,
