"What's new -name-?" editable in Theme Options

[toregus]

A sugestion.

At the front page of 1.2 & new default theme you can see this text above the writing box:

"What's new -name- ?"

I'd like to change that from the options panel for the theme. Like in P2.

And while we're at it...
It should be What's new(comma) -NAME-?

Make a child theme if you want to change the text. Bumping the text rename (ousep's comment) to 1.2.1.

[r-a-y]

There's also a filter for the what's new name as well - bp_dtheme_firstname, though it's currently broken in trunk.

I've filed a report for this (#1866) here.

DJPaul is right that you should make a child theme or a language pack if you want to change the text.

Agreed about the comma. I'll add it in a second.

r-a-y - the filter has moved into bp-core-templatetags.php and is called bp_get_user_firstname(). The filter seems to work fine.
