I don’t have this checked, but Discourse is still autofilling the username fields with the first part of email addresses when people follow an invite link.
I tried unchecking the ‘full name’ autofill option too, but that doesn’t help.
Many of my users have low technical ability and I really don’t want to give their email addresses away.
Any idea what might be going wrong?
Having looked into this more: I think this only applies to people signing up after receiving an invitation email, so that might be where the confusion lies. As in, I think the setting was intended only for public registrations, but people like me assume it applies to all registrations.
It would be great if we could stop this happening with people who get invited via email too, but if not, I guess a workaround is just to remove the ability for anyone to be invited via email.
