user_name_impex - how to remove from public profiles

[Verbose]

Hi, how do I remove this "user_name_impex" from the user's public profile information???

Following my import, this sensitive info is now visible to all....

[Steve Machol]

Never heard of that one. How is this 'sensitive'?

[Verbose]

Hey Steve,

I figured out how to make it private..


we imported from UBB.Threads and I guess that system allows a user to have two names... i don't know what user_name_impex was, but it does not match their login names and some members were upset that it was publicly viewable.

ubb.threads has two names, 'U_Username' and 'U_LoginName' at the beinging of the module ImpEx gives the option of which one you want to use for vBulletin's username.

[Verbose]

Yep, we went with LoginName so that ppl could still login :)

After import there are several new profile fields... can I delete these?
extra_1
extra_2
extra_3
extra_4

Or do they contain some type of imported data?

[Jerry]

They are the extra fields from ubb, if you didn't use them in ubb there won't be anything in them.
