title: Disable Links to My Site profiles in Sharepoint 2010
body: <p>I would like to utilize some of the social collaboration features in Sharepoint 2010, such as the Noteboard webpart and tagging, but do not want to use the My Site profile pages. </p>
  
  <p>I have already built a custom control that redirects from the userdisp.aspx page to a custom user profile page. I would like to continue to use that custom profile page. However, it seems like user profile links that are generated by the Noteboard webpart, for example, go directly to the /Sites/MySites/person.aspx page without being routed through the /_layouts/userdisp.aspx page. So my profile redirect control doesn't catch it.</p>
  
  <p>In Sharepoint Central Admin, under Manage Service Applications > User Profile Service Application > Manage User Permissions, I have only checked the box for "Use Social Features", not "Create Personal Site," so I am not sure why the profile page is not linking to the old userdisp.aspx page. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to redirect these links back to the userdisp.aspx page?    </p>
