Question J! 1.6: Real names displayed; cannot hide username in profile information.

I have a similar issue and I can't seem to get around it.

There are my back-end settings;
Show Real Name - Yes
Show Username - No

And yet, in my profile view it states;

Profile for *Real Name* (*Username*)

No matter which way around I have the settings... I can't hide Username.
This is bad for security.

How do I get around this?

G'day, Sovaka, and welcome to Kunena.

I am guessing that you are using K 1.6.3 on J! 1.5.23 (if you are using something else, please let us know). I am also guessing that you have not properly implemented Joomla SEO on your site, either. Please read Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in the Wiki.

If I was wrong in my guesswork, please post your K 1.6 configuration report so that I can see what you really have done.

I am using with Joomla! 1.6.

Here is the report as requested;

Please do not use J! 1.6.1 under any circumstances; do not use J! 1.6.2 either. J! 1.6.3 is the best of J! 1.6, so far, but even that version has errors. Fix up Joomla and let us know if that cures your problem. If it doesn't try my suggestion about running your site with SEO turned on and properly configured with a viable .htaccess file (which may, or may not, be the one that you're using).

I'm also assuming that you chose not to implement a Kunena menu on your site.

Well my version of Joomla is of what I found when I installed the site.

I will update to see if that fixes the issue.

You are correct that I did not wish to enable SEO friendly URLS or to use the Kunena Menu.

Updated to the latest Joomla! 1.6.3.

Didn't fix the issue.

Went back into Kunena back-end and change the options back and forth to see if a caching issue was in effect.
NOTE: Show Real Name OVERRIDES Show Username.
IF Show Real Name is SET to Yes, the output on Profile View is: *Real Name* (*Username*)
IF Show Real Name is SET to No, the output on Profile View is: *Username*
IF Show Real Name and Show Username is SET to No, the output on Profile View is: *Username*

The Show Username field option in the settings appears to do nothing.

I have also tried enabling SEO friendly URLS to no avail.

Anything else?
