Kunena 6.2.5 & module Kunena Latest 6.0.7 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.2.5 [K 6.2.5] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.3.x/4.4.x/5.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.1 / K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.2
Solved How do you hide Forum Statistics and User List from registered users?

Here are my reasons for wanting to hide the information.
- Forum Statistics - I believe this should only be for administrators and moderator view only. Others may think otherwise but for us, we do not want unauthorized users seeing our userbase record.
- User list - This appears to me as a privacy issue and potential easy security issue for the Joomla site. You make it one step easy for a hacker to register on the site, then review the site's user list and harvest usernames that could be potentially compromised especially with some users having weak password. I know a site administrator can enforce strict passwords, but this has proven in the past to be counter-productive as most basic users have found it frustrating remembering passwords that they are not used to, hence leading to site abandonment. I think the development team should do a rethink on the policy which currently appear to allow full userlist access to forum members...if it can be disabled for guests, then there should also be an option to enable backend configuration for site administrators to disable for registered users and/or moderators.It will further make Kunena more robust.
Please if anyone has found or know of a way to achieve this with or without much hack, please share.
Thanks

Yes, I think this would have probably have to be a feature of a future version of Kunena.hjw wrote: But I also want it to be impossible for registered users.. Feature?
