I don't know why they were implemented this way. > Because those fields predate the user_properties table. Remember, prefs used to be stored as a blob in user.user_options. > 'emailaddress' is luckily not a problem here (it's not shown on Preferences; > actually I don't know why it's in the blacklist), but 'realname' is.

Move it to a real pref. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
