On bottom is advertisement 'Powered by Kunena' and link to Kunena web site. I suggest that you add the version of Kunena been installed. For example:
Powered by Kunena, ver. 1.6.2

we have removed it because off the security. so people can't see the version. So hackers can't easy find outdated websites using search engines.

OK, but all other relevant forums have version there. Does this mean that these forums are safer than Kunena (eg, SMF, vBulletin, phpBB, etc.)? I think for really hackers that is not big problem.

No, all forums are almost the same with bugs ect. but when a hacker knows an security issue, and he can simple search with google with "kunena v1.6" or "VBulletin v3" so the hackers must harder to search to get a site with an outdated version.

Quite on the contrary. Kunena is one of the most reviewed and security checked Joomla extensions, especially since all out svn and repositories are open to the public.

We used to have the version info on the credits page and too many of our members where concerned about it being displayed in public. It is still very easy to detect a major release of the software running, just like you know if a site runs Joomla 1.0 or 1.5 or now 1.6. The majority concern was around the min version numbers. To know that somebody is runnning Kunena 1.5 or 1.6 is not a big deal, but showing the exact version number e.g. 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 is not preferred, just like you cannot tell what minor release Joomla is on.

Again, this was removed based on public feedback in the past.

We love stars on the Joomla Extension Directory . :-)
