AFAIK, there's no option to set this. You need to edit your skin. I can't remember exactly which file to edit, but you should be able to find it in the skin directory, but do not edit that file directly - copy that file to your skin folder then edit from there.

Another option is to link to a website instead of profile page. This isn't well documented and I had to go through core files to look up. and you can find instruction here: [url=http://www.prettyscripts.com/software/b2evolution/b2evo-author-links-to-website-instead-of-user-page]here[/url].

As for 'About Me', you can create a new page for that.

../skins/_profile.disp.php

Actually it's _user.display.php. The _profile.disp.php file is the form for updating a profile. Look for this section:

$ProfileForm->begin_fieldset( T_('Identity') );

	$ProfileForm->info( T_('Name'), $User->get( 'preferredname' ) );
    $ProfileForm->info( T_('Login'), $User->get('login') );

	$msgform_url = $User->get_msgform_url( $Blog->get('msgformurl') );
	if( !empty($msgform_url) )
	{
	  $ProfileForm->info( T_('Contact'), '<a href="'.$msgform_url.'">'.T_('Send a message').'</a>' );
	}
	else
	{
	  $ProfileForm->info( T_('Contact'), T_('This user does not wish to be contacted directly.') );
	}

	if( !empty($User->url) )
	{
		$ProfileForm->info( T_('Website'), '<a href="'.$User->url.'" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'.$User->url.'</a>' );
	}

Just comment out this line:

$ProfileForm->info( T_('Login'), $User->get('login') );

Thanks for clarifying. I suppose, when iceblock says to copy the file into the skin folder, I should do cp ...../skins/_user.display.php ...../skins/plurality ?

By the way, I'm really enjoying b2evo. Previously I was using bBlog, but it never worked quite right and its anti-spam sucked. (Admittedly, I didn't try its captcha plug-in.) Here, the installation worked right out of the box, and it's got the feature set I'm looking for.

Kudos to the developers!

Yes. And make sure if you change your skin it's also copied to your new skin.
