…Er, if ‘Nickname’ (as above post) can be seen ‘by Everyone‘, what is the purpose of ‘Display name publicly as’ – or vice versa, and why can they be different?

Also, I’ll add my name to the list of those who want a ‘Latest posts’ button.

Not clear is it!

In the Author part of a post, your nickname is ‘Kiwi Bloke’, but also shown below is your forum username, which is @kiwibloke62605.   This could be your email address. The profile options allow members to edit them, usually to hide their real name and email from bots and spammers.
