I apologise if this has been asked before.
I need to force users to use real names (yes, I know we'll get a zillion John Smiths but I am dealing with idiots) and wonder if it is possible to make email adresses mandatory on registering.
TIA.

Email addresses or real names?
Both!
I need to have username as a "real name" i.e., not a pseudonym - frankly, that can't be done: I'll just ban anyone not using a pseudonym.
But I do need to make email addresses mandatory at registration, otherwise I have no way of talking to a user other than by the forum.
Hope you can help.
Administration Options -> Verify registrations
Set to "Yes" and it will require a valid email address 
Of course, I had done that. Just couldn't read the email address as too faint!
Is there any way to change a username (I know admin can change theirs)?
Thx.
Admins can change theirs or anyone else's, moderators can change other peoples (assuming they have the ability to edit profiles enabled)
Great! How, though - we didn't think Admins could change usersnames.
OK - will just highlighting and changing a username work?
Just click on a person's profile: the field with username in it is editable for exactly that reason 
Very many thanks!
so how about to force users fill their real name?
Add a field for real name to register.php, make sure the data is inserted when the new user is, and ensure that the data is filled in
