- Open your register.asp file
- Find the section Personal Information
- Comment or Delete the information you do not wish to show
- Upload the file.
- Delete the corresponding database fields in the tblAuthor table in your database.
- Upload your database if using Access.
yer good to go.
NOTE:- you should check the dependencies before deleting the asp code.

I commented out right from the start of Profile Information (not required) right up to avatar module (left the avatar module active) and receive the HTTP 500 Internal server error.
I did not remove any of the fields within the tblAuthor table database. |

you need to turn off http friendly error messages , this will reveal the real issue, and would think its still the same. |

I have totally removed all parts of "Profile Information" within the register area.
Firstly, as dj air mentions above, you need to turn off http friendly error messages so can be directed to each error lines within the ASP files.
These are the files I deleted appropriate lines:
language_file_inc.asp
common.asp
forum_posts.asp
members.asp
pop_up_profile.asp
register.asp
Admin>>database>>wwForum>>tblAuthor (delete appropriate fields but be careful)
I started with the Language_file_inc.asp file 1st taking out certain lines and saving the file then refreashing the forum within the browser.
Keep going until there are no errors and test all the way through your forum.
cheers Ali.

Cheers Ali,
do you think this will help other users? Glad to be of assistance especially when you guys gave me a starter point
 getting the hang of ASP now.
