Comment:

 In [changeset:"8405"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="8405"
 Specify logged-in user when getting first name for "What's new?" activity
 prompt

 By default, BuddyPress only displays the post form in a context where
 bp_get_user_fullname() would default to the logged-in user. However, if
 the
 form is included elsewhere - such as on another user's profile - the first
 name
 displayed would erroneously be that of the displayed user, rather than the
 logged in user who is being prompted to post an update.

 Fixes #5540
