This is not about a user hiding info on their own profile. It's about a user going to someone else's profile and choosing to not see certain information.

Boy did I miss read that one! I need a nap!

Ok this is what I put
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field18] === 'Yes'"><div>Gender Status Icon</div></if>

should I put a comma between Gender and status Icon? or did I do that bit wrong?

[Lynne]

Where did you put that code? And, you need to put the actual *code* from the templates between the conditon.

I put it in my postbit...

So you mean like the field number?

[Lynne]

Here is an example from my site. I have field 6 which asks users whether they wish to see post count or not:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field6] === 'Yes'"><div>$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]</div></if>

So, if field 6 says Yes (they do wish to see a users post count), then the post count is shown.

hmm it is still not working for me..

Field18 asks if members want to show postbit icons like "Gender, and status"

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field18] === 'no'"><div>$vbphrase[gender]: $gender[gender]</div></if>

I only have it for gender right now, but I set mine to no, and I still see them.

[Lynne]

Well, your logic says "if it's set to no, show it" which is the opposite of what you want. You want, "if it's set to yes, then show it".

[Mellymonster]

Ok so I changed it to
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field18] === 'yes'"><div>$vbphrase[gender]: $gender[gender]</div></if>

but its still not working on my end, and I did switch my answer to yes on my end.

[Lynne]

Well, if you switched your answer to yes, then it is going to show according to that condition.
