Thank you, Sir, for this response.
I've discovered something more about the issue.
Original issue which started this thread: The Username field 'disappears' from the Registration form when the "CB Forums" plugin is published. When the plugin is NOT published, the Username field shows on Registration.
Second Clue: When the "CB Forums" plugin is NOT published, a different issue occurs, seemingly related. The Username field now shows in the Registration form, BUT the Username data is not 'stored' in CB User Manager.
The Ajax Username Checker does its job, shows if it's available or not, and DOES allow the registration to complete, including sending the confirmation email. But! next point...
Third Clue: Also, when the confirmation email goes to the new registrant, there is no Username shown where it says:
"Once your email address is confirmed our moderators will be notified to continue the activation process. You will be notified by email of the progress of your registration process.
Email : junk@cmichtech.com
Username : (this area is blank)"
I'm not sure if it's a Kunena configuration issue or within the CB Forum plugin. But, I'm leaning more toward Kunena because it's got a lot more to config incorrectly, on my part.
Again, thank you very much for answering this post with so little information. Anything in particular I can provide to assist finding solution?
Best regards...And thank you again, for the swift response. I will look for a reply sooner this time. You guys are fantastic!
