I hadn't noticed this so I've done something to prevent it as that's what suits me. It might not suit others though.

I've had a read of the link given by Admin and from what I understand from the posts in the link is that what you are experiencing is expected in terms of the way the forum code has been written. So it isn't an error needing a fix. It is essentially a request for a Hack to allow the option of not letting the guest view the profile details.
A bit like not allowing users to use hidden on-line status.

Hack requests have to go to the bottom of the pile

Now I'm new to all this and couldn't write code to save my life. The only solution I can think of, brutal as it may seem, is to edit the code so it doesn't show the links.

This is fine for my forum as we don't use a shout box or anything and I do use a portal to show who's recently been on-line that doesn't have a link to the profile.

A portion of a screen shot to help demonstrate:



I'm sure some of our more skillful and experienced friends will go when they read this but hey ho, a bit of lateral thinking does it for me  

Hope this all makes sense

Hi Dave,

I followed the instruction Manz gave above and it worked instantly

it wont work for dave as his forum is on phpbb3, so where you need to put it dave is: memberlist_view.html

it's a rough guess, so no guarantees, but fingers crossed.

I was wondering why it wasn't working for Dave


Good luck Dave, my curiosity will mean I need to find out how you get on with this

Simple answer is to hide it from all non logged in users.

index_body.tpl

find
