Is it possible to hide the member's real name in the profile?
 
My reason is my Forum is to support my company products only and I don't want competitors to be able to use the Membership List to mine for new customer's.

On member_profile.asp about line 410 you should have:

<tr class="tableLedger">
  <td><% = strTxtInformation %></td>
  <td><% = strTxtCommunicate %></td>
 </tr>
 <tr class="tableRow">
  <td valign="top">
   <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">
    <tr>
     <td width="30%"><% = strTxtRealName %>:</td>
     <td width="80%"><% If strRealName <> "" Then Response.Write(strRealName) Else Response.Write(strTxtNotGiven) %></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>


Replace that with:

<tr class="tableLedger">
  <td><% = strTxtInformation %></td>
  <td><% = strTxtCommunicate %></td>
 </tr>
 <tr class="tableRow">
  <td valign="top">
   <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"><%

         If blnAdmin Then
 %>
    <tr>
     <td width="30%"><% = strTxtRealName %>:</td>
     <td width="80%"><% If strRealName <> "" Then Response.Write(strRealName) Else Response.Write(strTxtNotGiven) %></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>


That will effectively only allow admin to see the real name

Backup your file first though Wink before you try it as I don't want to be blamed LOL
