Morgaine, just a quick tip, they may not be interested to register, perhaps, they're even to see information about a specific member.  So, make sure that you have the setting: "Do not reveal contact details of members to guests" turned on, so it'll give a little more force for guests to register in-order to view any member's information.

Hakam J.,

So are you saying that it isn't a good idea to let GUESTS see the members list, but if they register (which is free), it is now ok for them to see it? What is the difference?

As admin on my site, I don't let anyone see the members list as it contains their email address they registered with. Some hackers and spammers use these details to send automated spam and junk emails to these members, who in turn don't appreciate it. If someone out there really wants a members details, they first need to contact me. I will then ask some questions and pass the answers to the member in question. It is then up to them whether they make contact.

See the members details, and not the members list.

Hakam J.,
