Hi

Is it possible to remove the link to 'Members' which is on the top right hand side of the top. Our members will be discussing sensitive subjects and i'm sure would prefer if others could not view their details nor email address.

thank you.

Possible it is, but it won't be enough. The email can be hidden by themselves, but everyone will be able to reach their profiles. To avoid that you need to remove the links from the members names from every page where that is shown (default.asp, forum.asp, active.asp, topic.asp at least).

Anyway the link is displayed by inc_header.asp, in a function know as sForumNavigation. I don't have the code here, so I really cannot show you how to remove it (or show it only to admins, as I do).

On my board (which is down right now - curse you server hosts!) I commented out the e-mail information in the profile page as well as the "recent topics" list.

I did this to prevent the casual poster from finding members e-mail addresses and seeing recent posts with sensitive titles.

The next change I will make is to "hide" threads that are posted in hidden forums or members-only forums in active.asp if the user is not a member of that forum.

This should already be the case with any version of the forum I believe.

You may want to also consider making registration required. That way, in order to view the forum at all, people must register.

Gremlin, I am on 3.4.02 and when you look at active topics as a "Regular Member" you can see the titles of topics that exist in hidden or members-only forums in the recent Topics section of the profile page.

Perhaps I was wrong but I had to comment out that code in pop_profile.asp to prevent normal members from seeing the private titles of topics.

That does not happen with my 3.4.03 forum. Upgrade, execute setup.asp and see if the problem persists. AFAIK I think the problem should not be present since 3.4.

I took a different approach. I simply edited the first few lines of code after the includes in "members.asp" as follows:




<%
if mLev < 3 then
Err_Msg = "<li>Access is restricted to Moderators and Administrators</li>"

Response.Write " <table width=""100%"" border=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpen,"","") & " <a href=""default.asp"">All Forums</a><br />" & vbNewLine & _
" " & getCurrentIcon(strIconBar,"","") & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpenTopic,"","") & " Member Information</font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" </table>" & vbNewLine & _
" <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strHeaderFontSize & """ color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>Access restricted to Moderators and Administrators!</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _




That's all it took.

Ruirib, you are correct. It was fixed in the most current version.

Thanks for the update.
