Forum bug?

[Tìtstewan]

It is possible to view as guest any member profile?! Normally that isn't possible...
Or is that a forum bug?
That just seen:

I'm confused

Don't know if this is the case here, but I've worked with other forums software before (so I don't know this one) and there it happened, that bots/guests tried to access a user profile, but got the message, that they're not allowed to view this and other restricted content. In the "who is online" lists this was shown as "guest/bot is viewing XYZ's profile", although he for sure couldn't see its content.
Maybe this explains it, if this is the case here, which I'm guessing.

This does indeed look like it is the situation you describe.

The forum option to NOT reveal contact info to guests is selected in the configuration.

Interesting...

I have just tried to reconstruct it:
I'm logged in via Fire Fox in this forum.
If I want to access via Internet Explorer on a member, I get the usual message that I should sign up. (Note: I don't have an access via IE on this forum)
At the same time I looked at "who's online": (in Fire Fox)
It states: "Viewing the board index of Learn Na'vi Community." at the guest -> so it is normally not possible.

Do I have do a mistake with my test?

Nope, this isn't possible. Guests get an error message -- no information is shown to them. The logging system still shows the activity as "viewing a member's profile" though.

That's good, because I thought that would be a 'security issue' or so...
