DM,

I was playing around with New User Questions toggles and running through some new user creation tests and I noticed that when the 'Company Name' flag is set to 'Yes', account creation does not seem to prompt the user for a string. Is this expected behavior

The company name goes in the user's "real name" field. So if you have both alias and real names being prompted for already, the company name won't be. The option was intended (long ago) for business BBSes which would not allow user aliases.
