UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support stop anonymous view of profiles

I am constantly seeing "anonymous" on board, "viewing user's profile".

Once in a great while, that is someone who is about to log in.

But most of the time it is just some bot or something, trolling for emails to send spam to.

How do I stop "anonymous" from viewing profiles, without stopping anonymous view of the entire board ?

The quick answer...upgrade to 7.0 and turn off anonymous viewing of profiles in the control panel

The other answer would be, in versions other than 7.0 it would take a modification to the showprofile script. You'd need to put a check in there to see if the user was logged in, and if not give them a message they need to login first.

Getting the owners of the board to go for another upgrade so soon, is going to be like pulling teeth. Through your um, elbow...

I have no idea what to look for in that script, or what to put in there.
