What do I need to change to stop members from changing their email address. I would like the address to be displayed just like the user-name but not be editable by them only by moderator or admin. thank you in advance.
You could go into the file that gets called when you modify a profile (not sure which one it is) and just set some impossible stipulation and have it display an error message that email addresses are not edittable.
I had to modify this to make sure no one changed their email from a particular domain that everyone must have.
ok, here's what you need to do, go into pop_profile.asp
On my forum it's around line 1100, in
Case goEdit, Down about 200 lines from when the case starts, there's some code like this:
if Request.Form("Email") = "" then Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must give an e-mail address</li>" end if
This is the code I added for my forum, you could play around with it in a number of ways to make sure that the error message will come up.
if trim(right(Request.Form("Email"),7)) = "@bc.edu" then 'do nothing else Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You may not change to a non-BC email address.</li>" end if
