Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a forum where user profiles are not allowed. i can't find anywhere in the admin to turn off profiles?? Is it possible as we don't want users clicking on other usernames to see the profile as it's already built into our site.

Also, what is the "active topics" link for? It doesn't seem to display anything that I can see?

Also, the number of posts for each user seems to be in the negative number?? Don't know what's going on here?

Some seriously quick help on this is appreciated as I wonder if these questions are pretty generic!!

Cheers

Matt

Hey Mat, and Welcome!

what version are you using?
"Active topics" shows links to the topics that have new posts since your last visit or in the period that is chosen.
TTBOMN - there is no interface way to disable user profiles, you need to bite the code to do that.
As for the negative post number - I've never seen that. Are you sure you aren't seeing negative points, rather than negative posts?
PS - No need to cross-post!
... But trust me on the sunscreen!

Thanks for your feedback on this one. I'm running version: 1.9.1.8.

I'll have a look at getting rid of those links in the code.

As for the negative posts, It seems to be working properly on most usernames now with only a few of them still in negative numbers and I double checked and it is posts, not points (I turned those off).

Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping some would respond while I was asleep (I'm in Australia) but you got back to me before that. Much appreciated.

Also, on a previous version of this same release, I had a major failure after about 3 6 weeks of being live and had to back it all up and re release the forum software. Has that happened for anyone??

Another issue is that I've disallowed Personal messages in the admin but the Inbox still continues to display with messaging allowed??

I also can't change the file size for avatar uploads. It stays at 1000 which was my test amount but now after I change it and save, when I go to upload a new avatar, it tells me my limit is 1000?
