Remove User Registration Website URL Option?

As It's been a while since I installed MiniBB, I have forgotten how to edit the 'user_dataform,html' file.

I want to take out the option for users to register their website URL as this is only being used my spammers - human ones, not bots.
That should make the forum less interesting to them.

Cheers,

Steve

For your knowledge, by default the URL is not hyper-linked when displayed to guests, so it doesn't make sense to search engines.
However this is the function you may put under bb_plugins.php, it will always work not displaying the URL:

function parseUserInfo_user_website($val){
return '';
}
also, under templates/user_dataform.html you may remove the 'website' input field.
