I have used these forums many times since launching one of my forums a few years ago and happy to say I have never had to register and ask a question... until now.
I have searched for a resolution for quite some time and get results but not for exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I hope someone can help me.
I operate a forum/message board as a feature on one of my community portals. I have several groups or councils that I have set up private forum areas reserved just for them. The problem is that these groups would like to use their real names as their usernames, ie. JohnDoe.
To them, this is great because it's like wearing a name tag at a conference. Of course, I have suggested they not do this, but am determined to find them a solution.
What they don't want is obvious - their usernames showing up in the member list and being visible to any registered member. They would like them to only be visible from inside their own private forum.
I know that it can be done by ranking level if I make them all moderators. I also know I can completely remove access to the member list, but don't want to do that either.
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I can't seem to figure out the best way to do this. Any ideas?

To restrict the members list to just admins, I did this:
Note, I commented out the original function and added the part in red. If you checked for an mLev >= 3 it would allow moderators to see the member list too.
An alternate option would be to add the UserGroups MOD and restrict the members page to Admins, Mods, and a specific UserGroup. Its more coding in the long run, but you won't have to make people Mods who might not otherwise be granted those privs. I posted some code a couple weeks back for using the UserGroups MOD in a similar maner.<

AnonJr hello.
This is something I would like to implement. However, I think I might of missed something. The code is to be added in members.asp or pop_profile.asp?
Wanted to ask so I don't create a mess.
Thanks in advance.<

It was added to members.asp since the original request was to make the members list visible to just admins.<

Just a thought here Anon but I might be off but I think they want the members list to show everyone on the bored for everyone but this specific group. So wouldn't they want to create a usergroup and in members.asp make it so that usergroup doesn't show up?<

Ok, I haven't had much coffee today, so please bear with me.
Actually, I would like profiles to be viewed by anyone. Its just their personal info upon registration that I want private. (Name and Surname)?
Anyway to do this without adding usergroup mod as JJenson is suggesting?
Thank you. (Running for a cup of coffee)<
