<script>
// Remove "Change Password" Option (By Mwr247)
var rcp=document.getElementsByTagName('li');
for(r=0;r<rcp.length;r++){

And that's it! easy setup.

 Uh dude, there's a safer way than this. For that one account, make a new group and disable it from changing its profile. Safer than JS, but it's nice anyways. :)

I made a code to block off the input boxes. The way you did it, people can easily guess the URL. But then I found that the ACP way was way better.

 You could, but that would also take away profile related previews. As for link guessing, people could also just disable javascript and get past either code, but only if their really determined.

I assume this is only good for test boards and test accounts, in which case, why would you let them touch any profile options? It's safer to just remove access.

But if a code is related to the profile side, it's a problem. :S I guess a pic would work. Just suggesting. lol

 Useful code.

Of course you can get around it by turning JS off.

 It's definitely not a fix-all, but it will stop the majority of users. Nice code. :)

 Nice code, and it works. ^_^ I don't have any need for it personally, but could you possibly do the same thing for the 'Change Username' option too, please? We have the option turned off in ACP, but it would be great to remove it entirely, rather than members clicking on the link and receiving an error message.

I don't know if it's possible to remove the three clickable options in 'Blog Setup' with a code, but if that can be done it would be much appreciated, too. ;)

 I could do the above, and probably the blog one too if I understand what you're asking. Do you mean the "Yes" or "No" options when editing your blog settings?

 Yes please, that's exactly what I meant. :D

Would removing those options act as though the user had left them all on 'Yes' by default? :unsure: The first option, 'Allow guests to view your blog?' worries me a little. But if guests are prevented from viewing profiles from ACP, it should be okay unless they can 'guess' blog URL's. And removing 'Allow members to comment on your blog entries?' & 'Show a list of users reading your blog?' we'd prefer for management/security reasons. ;)
