Question "Allow Name Change" confusion

Background to my problem
I'm currently developing a "life issues forum " for a website using kunena.
The site's forum will encourage people to post issues facing them in their daily lives, with forum users contributing solutions to these issues. Some of these issues may be very personal, consequently one of the key requirements is that registered users can change(mask) their names if they need to post sensitive issues...

I have the following setting under security in Kunena Configuration

Registered Users Only = No
Allow Name Change = Yes
Public Read/Write = No


When posting a new thread, i can edit the name field, however after submitting the post, the Author name still shows the original name and not the edited name...

Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the "Allow Name Change"setting?
Joomla Version 1.5.15
Kunena Version 1.5.11

Hello,

I have just tried now with the same settings that you have and i have no issues.

What kunena template do you using ?

That's interesting;

I'm using a stripped down version of default_x. Also it might be worth mentioning that i'm currently developing locally on a Ubuntu virtual machine.

I'll try with a different template and see if that changes anything.

Still no luck, I've uploaded the site to my web host and done a fresh install of Kunena, Using the default template, i'm still facing the same problem.

Can you please give me a link to your site with a test account ?
