Error while checking 'player-user-linking.playername-column' set to '': Empty column name

I keep getting this error, even though in the config it tells me to leave it empty:
12.06 20:26:15 [Server] INFO [20:26:15 ERROR]: [CommunityBridge] Error while checking 'player-user-linking.playername-column' set to '': Empty column name.
Here is my config:

I am using SMF forums if that's important
I have no idea what this is supposed to be set to, especially since, if I'm looking at the right part, it says to leave that part empty in the config
CommunityBridge is going to figure out the player's user_id based on the information contained in either the column specified by 'playername-column' or if uses-key is turned on then it does the lookup by key-name which is configured later.
Which you use depends on whether you want to have the forum names match the Minecraft player name.
I recommend going the "uses-key" route and storing the player name in a custom profile field. A future release will use UUIDs instead of the player name and I doubt you want folks' forum usernames to be a UUID...
Below are example settings for SMF for the uses-key route. "key-name" will depend on what you name the custom profile field.
uses-key: true
key-name: cust_ingamename
key-column: variable
value-column: value
