If I discovered one thing by posting my support question, it is the excellent member help that is provided through your replies and the help forum in general. As a result of the link you provided I found a solution to my problem. I registered a new member myself and this changed the name of the newest member from my own name to a nickname. There still may be a bug however as far as I am concerned my problem has been solved!
I tried the css code below that you suggested for another forum and it did not work. I went to layout, colors & settings, css&html and then I pasted the code below in the box on the right of the screen titled Current Value. I saved and cleared my browser cache and even signed in and out and it did not work. I would actually prefer this as the entire STATS would not be shown. How can I accomplish this? Did I do the css changes correctly?
The name I originally signed up with is still shown on the main forum page. There is no user by that name as I had changed Jay Gershbein to Moderator. I hope you have a solution.
