I installed the Profile Exclude module but haven't been able to get it to work yet. Three questions:

1. Exactly what do I need to enter into the Excluded Profiles box on the Profile Exclude Global Config? Is it the same as Profile Name? Or Profile Url Name? Or the name with the @ sign in front of it? Is it case sensitive?

2. My community Forum is housed on a Community profile owned by me. If I "exclude" that Community profile, hiding it from the profile list page, will the Forum still operate and be visible to all users? That's what I hope.

3. If I also "exclude" some member profiles, hiding them also from the profile list page, will their forum posts and images still be viewable by other users? That's what I hope.

So far, the users I've tried to exclude have still appeared on the profile list page, even when I sign out of my admin account and sign in as a standard user. So I'm imagining I just haven't entered the profile_id's correctly. Hoping someone here can set me right. Thanks!

If you have questions its because my docs weren't good enough. I have updated the docs with what I hope is the answers to your question on how to use it. Check it out here:

Docs: "Profile Exclude"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/3899/profile-exclude

#2 ) Profile Exclude will only exclude it from the jrCore_list function it will still be a normal profile in every other respects. It will still be visible to all users.

FYI: {jrCore_list} is the main list building function in jamroom used for getting stuff back from the datastore.

Docs: "{jrCore_list}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/89/jrcore-list

#3 ) Just normal users, their stuff will behave as normal, just not shown in the list.
