Limiting User Fields in 'edit profile'

Is there a way to limit the fields in 'edit' profile just to the mandatory fields?  A client is concerned that users will get bamboozled by 'forum tracking' 'email format' and other non-mandatory fields in their account, and would prefer they do not try and change these - it will just create issues.   Is there a way to remove these or set these as non-editable fields?

 

with thanks

Hi Belinda,

This page will be simplified in 2.5 by the use of drop-down menus, but to hide the fields you mention will require some custom work.

Hope this is useful,

regards,

George.
