As you switched the name to the other site of the avatar, now the name is shortened.
I see no sense in having a shortened name on this place, it makes more sense to hide the name completely.
How can this be done?

All the best, Julian!
If you want to customize the layout, feel free to edit it in /modules/mod_easysocial_dropdown_menu/tmpl/default.php

Well, let´s start with the name.
My name has only 6 letters, so it´s not a long one. But it´s shortened on the module.
This means: Most names will be shortened.

How can it be changed? I don´t like it when personal names are shortened, this is just not nice.
The easiest way would be to simply don´t show the name anymore. But it would be also okay if it is shown in a nice way.

The problem is: I don´t want to hardcode it on every update again.
What do I have to do?

You could create template overrides in your template folder in /templates/JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/mod_easysocial_dropdown_menu/

How is this done?
I never understood the way the folders must be created.
And what is happening when I have an override and you make an update on the files that are "overridet"?

1. This is not an "EasySocial" way to create overrides. This is the standard way of creating template overrides for modules in Joomla.

2. Create the folder /templates/JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/mod_easysocial_dropdown_menu/

3. Copy the file /modules/mod_easysocial_dropdown_menu/tmpl/default.php into the folder at step 2

4. If there is updates on the next version, you will need to update the file accordingly.
