I have just set up a new moodle system on a much smaller scale than the one I currently use. I have two teachers and two students assigned. When a user submits an assingment, it should send the students name in the email notification to the teacher. The students name does not show in the notification and the email address displays as the default one for moodle set in the admin pages. This is happening for one student, but not for the other. I have checked both profiles and cannot see anything different about them. Both have a name and a valid email address assigned to them. i also notice that the user whose name is not being submitted does not show up in my online users box when they are online. Their full name does show up in the logs.
Any ideas? I am completely baffled. Is there something the student could have set to prevent their email address being used and their name appearing in the assignment notifications? I cannot see anywhere that a student can set up anonymity for all activities.

Do you have the ability to access the database directly (eg by phpMyAdmin)?
If so, have a look in the mdl_users table. See if there are any obvious differences there. You might be able to see something you can't see from the Moodle front end.
