How about, "Member groups" > "Guests" > "Settings" > "Can view public profiles" > NO.
Posted by GDmac on 2012-03-23 03:50:37 I make it something totally obscure so I don't hit conflicts. I almost agree with Brendon. It just needs to be stripped down and work more like the user addon.
Posted by David on 2012-03-21 14:49:48 The ExpressionEngine member management system should be abandoned altogether.
