question on forum engine options

googlealchemist

if i select all forum engines via the checkbox, but then in the options tab i uncheck the 'forum post' box. 

will that serve my purpose of only creating profile based links on forum engines and never posting an actual public forum post? and if so, does it totally skip the engines, even if they are checked in the main engine area, if they only do public posts and not also a profile?

basically trying to figure out if the software is going to waste resources registering/email verifying etc sites on the front end, just to not post to them when it turns out to not have a profile option. and also trying to maximize all profile opportunities on sites that allow for both, vs going thru each individual engine and checking/unchecking them that way.

No resources are wasted. It is exactly as you guessed...if you do not select the "forum-post" backlink type, it will skip engines completely that use only that type and will use the profile link only for those who have both types.
