Untested, but should work

i've been trying to do this very thing in vbulletin 3.0.0. would anybody now how this code would have to be modified to get it to work in vb3?

In the usergroup settings there is an option for 'can view member list' change that no 'no' for everyone that you don't want to see it.

There are no code changes required as it is a standard feature.

yeah, well that setting controls whether the usergroup can view User Profiles and the Memberlist. i would like to allow people see the View User Profiles page but only have access to view and search the Memberlist if they are a member of a couple of specific usergroups.

btw, in vb3, that setting you mention is called 'Can View Member Info'. sorry i'm asking a vb3 question in the wrong forum, but i thought i would continue the thread instead of starting a new one. :nervous:
