when `hide user profiles from public` option is active in admin panel, if an anonymous user click on a user avatar, he gets blank page.

Is is possible to direct him to “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private” page? how?

I’d like to bump this since we’re seeing this as well. When an anonymous user tries to go to a user profile (by clicking a user avatar) they’re getting a blank page and can’t even use the browser back button; the page must be refreshed. We’re on v1.7.9.

Any chance this is being worked on?
