Username vs First Name

Hopefully the last upgrade question from me
Under the previous version (with s2Member and BuddyPress) members' display name was their first name from the order form. Now their username/login is being displayed in BuddyPress.
I upgrade WP and s2Member, but BuddyPress was not upgraded.
Has an s2Member setting changed?

More Info:
Since upgrade, the order forms (which have not changed) are still asking for first and last, and this info is still porting into WP's profile for that member, but in WP (and be default BP) the "Display name publicly as" is defaulting to the login, not the first name.
I have made no changes to my BP settings, nor to the new "Custom Fields For BuddyPress" settings.

There's an improved integration with BuddyPress profiles, that may have changed something. You can find it here WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Custom Registration Fields -> Integrate Custom Registration Fields with BuddyPress

I haven't added any custom fields that need integrating... First and Last are already built-in by default
Any suggestions as to which options I should try? This is a live site so i don't want to turn too many switches

BTW, [s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME" /] still displays the first name...

I'm not experienced yet with BuddyPress or its new integration. This is what Jason posted about it

And what's the display name set to in the WordPress profile for that account?

Sorry, my mistake: It was [s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME" /] that was showing the first name (d'oh)...
I've done a clean install on a dev site of BP with the newest WP and s2Member, and the same issue is happening. I've tested selecting Yes, integrate with BuddyPress Public Profiles. in Custom Fields, with no change. Happy to give you or Jason access to the dev site...

OK, I'll email Jason about it and he'll let you know if he needs it.
