User ID and Username in Profile URL

The url path for a user profile only shows the name for members who belong to a usergroup with Public as a parent (except for registered) but it shows userid-username for members who belong to a usergroup with Registered as a parent and/or they belong to Registered.

There may be another logical explanation but I assume the profile path should always finish with just the name only?

I have tried directly logging in to the profile as the user, going via the friends link to profile as well as from the leaderboard module.
Hi Richard,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

The reason your user 'John' his profile url do not have the 'userid-username' format, this is because your user 'John' has entered his 'permalink' when editing his profile. As for Alice, she did not enter any permalink in her profile thus the system will use the format 'userid-alias' and the alias for now is defaulted to 'username'.

Please see:

Alice:

Hope the above clarified why you seeing 'userid-alias' and 'userpermalink' format in user's profile urls.
Have a nice day
