Limited Support
Our team is currently on holiday, so support will be limited during this period. Response times may be slower than usual, and some inquiries may be delayed.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’ll resume our usual support by the end of August.
Please don't confuse Username and Nickname.
Please be familiar with Users Nickname, Username and Display Name differences, read this FAQ topic: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/nickname-vs-username-vs-display-names/
Yes, they are the same right after the registration, because WordPress creates user Nickname based on Username, but you can change the nickname in My Profile > Account page:
Nicknames are used for user @mentioning and in your profile URL. So again, this is the nickname not username:

Please read this post for more information: https://wpforo.com/community/postid/17315/
In any case, if you still want to disable nicknames and don't allow people to @menation each other, you should put this code in WordPress active theme functions.php file:
function wpforo_disable_user_nicenames( $nicename ){
return '';
}
add_filter('wpforo_member_nicename', 'wpforo_disable_user_nicenames', 10);
