Hi,

I'm just curious. I' ve made our forum private for just a few people, mostly to keep out spammers, etc.

Yet, I see our profiles can be accessed from the public. A guest, or spammer, is able to click on the tab "profile" or any of them at the top, and then find out who the members are. They're then able to click on each one and PM them, or find out who the administrator is. They then have access to each user name.

Is there a way to hide that row of tabs?

Thanks for your help!

Edited: Well, it just dawned on me that, of course, any folks I want to have as members will need to see the tabs "register" and 'log in"...hmm, but can we hide the member list in some way?

I would like to hide the user/member list as well. Several of my members don't want the general public to have access to their email records. I read one forum that said to go to Group Admin tab and Management, then Guest Group, then change settings in there. Only problem is I have no guest group, so that idea isn't working for me.
