Re: Turn off links for profile fields
Thanks for the plug, Erich 
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/ is the plugin you’re thinking of. I updated it about a week ago to work on versions of BP 1.2+ (though you should definitely let me know if it does not work!).
@Nick – the plugin will do what you want. Check out the readme file, which will explain how to make it work.
@gregfielding – That’s a good idea, but at the moment BP is not set up in a way that makes it easy to create those check marks with a plugin. Maybe I’ll submit a core patch that does it, as I’d like to see it too.
