Comments can sometimes cause problems because a form value won't be
submitted at all if commented. This for instance can blank out a value
which was already set, or result in errors when updates are applied.
You should get the desired results and universal functionality by using
hidden DIV's instead:
<DIV STYLE="visibility: hidden;">
code you want to hide
</DIV>

All you need to do is put html comment tags around whatever part of
the user options page you do not wish users to be able to change.
Below is an example of how you would do this. Please note that this is
just an example of the technique to use and not the actual code that
needs to be commented out.
<!--
<tr>
<td class="header3Cell" colspan="3"><span
id="lblUserOptsChangePwdText">Change Password</span></td>
</tr>
/-->
The html comment tags are <!-- and /--> and as you can see in the
example above, I have added them in front and behind the <tr> tags.
This will effectively hide this part of the page from the user. The
old user options page you used before will not work because there are
new ASP.Net controls on the new one that the code is looking for.
Because of that same reason, you cannot simply remove pieces of the
page that you don't want shown and must instead use html comment tags
to hide the parts you do not wish to be shown. I hope this helps to
explain what needs to be done. If you look at the actual user options
page, it should be apparent which parts need to be commented out to
accomplish what you are hoping to do.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Preferences in 2006.23
Hello and Happy Holidays.
I just did the upgrade to 2006.23 from 2006.04 and all is working
except it overwrote my previous useroptions.aspx. I am not a web
developer or coder of any sort so my asp skills are zero. With my old
useroptions.aspx I had someone "comment out" the change password
feature so it was grayed out and user could not change their password.
I need to do the same thing on the new useroptions.aspx. I would also
like to disable the Forward To: option as well because I don't want my
users to be able to forward to a different account. I tried replacing
the new useroptions.aspx with the old on and it didn't like that.
If anyone has any ideas on what needs to be modified to disable
password change and forward to capabilities I would appreciate you
help very much!!
Thanks!!
Tyler
