Hide members list?

[bernard]

Hi Somasimplers,

Some of us want perhaps that the Members list could be available only to registered members?

On most boards the member list is private, only the administrator or moderators can access it. This is the most open board I've ever seen.

On most boards, registered lurkers can hide; if someone wants to find out about a member, that member has to have posted. Then their "profile icon" is visible and clickable... but the posting member has control over how much info they want to share about themselves.

On some boards, only registered members, lurkers or not, can access the board to read the contents. Other boards are open for the internet public to read them.

Only the admin has full access to all info, including internet provider number, should that person be so badly behaved that they need to be 'banned' from the site.

I'm personally OK with how Bernard has set this up, so I voted for #3. However, I'm sure others have varying situations to feel comfortable with.
Cheers,
Diane

I personally enjoy learning where the members are coming from.
Some of us seem not to put much personal info, that is okay and their choice.
You could arrange th emember list in such a way that it will show up only when our memeber signs in.

Actually, the members list is available for everybody, member or not.
I propose only that this list would be only available to registered members and no more to guests?

Takao,
Of course a member shows some information on posts already, location...
You keep, as a member, the ability to look to the list!

Diane,
A guest may not look to the profile page, too.

Democracy will chose!

I have done the requested modification today.
The memberlist is now available only to registered members.
