We just upgraded to the latest version of 4 and it wiped out some of the settings we had in 3.4.  One of the changes is that when a member posts in a thread, they now see all of their private info under their avatar - I have attached a screenshot.  ONLY they can see THEIR info, and they can't see anyone elses, but needless to say users freak out and think that everyone else can see their private info.  I know we went through this same thing when we originally dealt with it in 3.4, but can't remember which setting changed it.

Thanks

So I found the post I made 5 years ago when this first came up.  Now I just need to figure out which setting it's buried under in the new version.

 

 

 

Visit AdminCP -> Members -> Profiles -> {Custom Field Name} -> Search and Display Options -> Display Format and erase everything in "Display Format" and it will no longer appear under their avatar next to posted content.
