Hi Michal,

I'm referring to the JomSocial site. My username is showing my name instead of my username. Also, i am unable to update my name. When I try to fix it, it changes my email address, and then I receive an error.

Thanks for you assistance.

Also, if you could remove my name from this post, that would be helpful.

HI

Thank you for contacting us.
JomSocial.com is set to use "real names" - not usernames.
Displaying usernames is rather a bad practice as you already provide one part of your credentials. Then any hackers have much easier job to breach the system (by guessing password or bruteforce).

I just checked with regular user and User Name can be changed: prntscr.com/hqewdx

HI.

Certainly - done.
But what kind of error do you have? Could you do a printscreen?

Many thanks for taking care of this, Michal.

The error is no longer occurring. After i changed my name in the field, it would automatically change my email address to my username, and then i would get an error about my email being invalid. It was a strange one.

Thanks again!
