Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 20, 20159 yr 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.
December 20, 20159 yr 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.
December 21, 20159 yr Author 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.
