one of my mods just told me he (and all other mods) can see everyone's login names.

I know this is of little use without the password, but it is somewhat of at least a privacy issue as most of my posters like to retain a separation between their displayed and login names.

How do I hide the loging name field from moderators?

For that, you would need to do some code hacking.

in /noncgi/Templates/public_display_profile.pl, around line 757, there is a subroutine that displays the box. You would need to alter that routine to only show it for admins.

Someone at UBBDev probably can whip it out in a few minutes.

thanks Ron.. I'm a reasonable hacker myself.
I would just need to see an example of another field that is filtered for admins to see how it's done.
