Disable Profile View For Guests

[Rheddy]

I know that profile views were disabled for guests in IPS3, is this possible for IPS4? I'd rather be able to disable profile views for guests to prevent spammers/spambots and the like from collecting email addresses of my community.

They won't (or should not!) see email addresses.

To disable guests viewing profiles:

ACP > System > Applications > Expand the 'System' application by clicking on the left side of it, or the wording itself. When it expands find 'Profiles' in the list and on the right hand side click the padlock type icon (permissions) and uncheck the guest group (don't forget to save!) on the permissions page.

Sign out of your community and view as a guest to check that its worked.

Thanks, @AndyF. That worked perfectly. It was set by default so that banned members and guests could view profiles. Thanks for the tip. I'm still learning IPS4 from the ground up so it's still a learning curve for me.

You're welcome.
