Profiles private?

Hi everyone,
I run a support site that has a private memebership but also has public news.
One thing I have noticed is that any member posting/commenting on the news is really publishing direct link to thier profile.
Is there any way of restricting profile access to members only or is it possible to remove the hyperlink from members names to thier profiles.
Thanks Kymmy B)

Don't know if this is the smartest way to do it, but it seems to work.
In \profile.php find:
Replace with:
In \profile.php find:
Code Download source
if (!isset($lookup) || !isNum($lookup)) fallback("index.php");Replace with:
Code Download source
if (!isset($lookup) || !isNum($lookup) || !(iMEMBER)) fallback("index.php"); answered
@WEC.
Perfect. Works a treat.
I did try removing the hyperlinks from the news/comments files which pointed to the profiles but I couldn;t find the link which seems to be embedded in the news article.
Thanks :)

You mean when it comes up in their profile with : Comments Posted etc. Edit the profile for that just remove the field then the other pages will do the rest.
You can restrict the profiles so that each member can only view THEIR OWN profile too...

Nope,
When I removed the HREF hyperlinks in News/comments files the only link not removed was the "posted by ******" link. I think it's worked into the news article itself as I couldn;t find the link anywhere in the normal PHP files. When I have time I'll look in the DB itself to see if I'm right.

HI,
Although it is a private support group I'm happy for members to know each other...otherwise I would have totally removed profile.php.
Mind you if you removed the ability to see each others profiles then why have profile.php in the first place :p

Yeah true... It was just a thought incase you didn't want each other viewing each others profiles.. but you still being able to collect info about your users..
