This eases the server load a lot as crawlers won't try to load pages that they have no rights to view. This is especially problematic as the URL for the profile changes every time and crawlers can't cache the server result. GTalk Skype/VoIP Facebook Twitter YouTube ICQ IP Logged

Clicking the name of the user will give 403 as expected, but it should not be a link at all to avoid the extra page load for crawlers and other guests.

I usually convert them as functions and then use "grep" to find where the unique part of the link is used raw on the sources... when it uses a function, it should only show one result GTalk Skype/VoIP Facebook Twitter YouTube ICQ IP Logged

For this I started looking through all the files for 'action=viewprofile' and kept my fingers crossed that the related code wasn't so convoluted I got a headache looking at it.
