I'm working with Forums for the first time and cannot figure out how to configure the following:

How do I remove "Edit" from the User Profile page through backend configuration. It looks like there is logic in the code to not show this, but I don't know where the setting is.

if...$user->authorise('core.manage', 'com_cjforum')

Same with hiding gender, age...I see this code, but don't know where the setting is.

if($this->params->get('profile_show_gender', 1) == 1)

How/When are Forum Members created? When I select Forum Members, there are no members even though 2 users have logged in and created forum posts.

And lastly, I have turned off "Hits" but they still show up for posts. See attached image.

Thanks.
