But I notice that different apps seem to randomly choose whether they're going to display usernames or screen names. For example, Eternity displayed screen names, Summit only displays usernames unless you go into a profile.

This is usually configurable in most apps. For example, Eternity has a setting called "Show community and user display names" (on by default), and Summit has a setting called "Prefer user display names" (off by default).

I think I saw that setting in Eternity. Didn't notice it in Summit but there's a lot of options in Summit, so I could've easily missed it. Thanks for letting me know it's there somewhere though, I'll look for it.

Edit: yup, found it. In the misc section where I was probably tired of playing with settings at that point.
