This may not be a direct bug BUT I think its worth talking about. I noticed when I search a user on my sites username it shows up in google search! this is an issue for me because I only allow registered members to actually see user profiles. This is not really a pressing issue for me, but i think it needs to be fixed for sure and removed from Googles indexes. Can you please assist??

Hi,
this is not a bug, username is the only unique and human readable user info, so it is used for build SEF url. Google indexes only public links and you have some public user link on your site ( i.e. author link from https://www.ghostlyhaks.com/blog/apple-efi/23-efi-deobfuscate ).
