Filenames are been renamed when uploading jpg images in Firefox and Safari was created by twilliams81
When I upload a jpg image in firefox or safari the date is appended to the end of the filename. Any idea how to make it not do this? I have attached an image named MomentsAD.jpg to see if it renames it on your forum.

Usually, if you add an attachment (let's say it has the filename "MomentsAD.jpg") then that's the name it will be given when it's stored in your forum. That's the name of the file you added in this topic and, as you see, the filename did not add any "date information". The file is stored in your "personal" folder on the website - every user has a "personal" folder for storing attachments.
Let's now say you want to attach another file that's also called "MomentsAD.jpg". What happens then is that, because there is already a file with that filename, Kunena appends the date to the filename in order to make the filename unique and to preserve the integrity of the forum, where you may have referred to that same name elsewhere.
Does this help to explain what's going on?

This is very strange. Let's see if your
configuration report
gives us a few clues as to why this is happening only, in your case, to every file that's being uploaded (apparently).
The "AD" thing is irrelevant. Attachments are stored on a "per user" basis in Kunena: each user has their own individual folder for attachments. See the image below, based on a vanilla-flavoured, out-of-the-box Joomla website with Kunena (and one other Joomla extension added):
It really doesn't matter if each user adds their initials to the files they upload (for the sake of uniqueness). If "AD" has the user-id of 42, for example, then all of AD's files will be located in ../media/kunena/attachments/42. Someone else will have their files stored in ../media/kunena/attachments/<user-id>. Within each user's folder you will find their attachments.
The way Kunena should work is that the first time a file is uploaded the file will be stored with whatever filename it originally had at the time of the upload. Your test on this site confirms this; my testing on two other websites (one J! 1.5 and the other J! 2.5) also confirms this. If the same user attaches (i.e uploads) the same file (whether or not in the same message as, or a different one from, the original message) then the file will be renamed by adding a timestamp in order to make the filename unique.
Therefore, let's see what your configuration report tells us that's peculiar in your case and, if necessary, we may need to login to your website and verify the situation for ourselves.
