Hidden Users

I have searched the forum and can't find anything about how to control hidden users.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

What do you exactly want to do?

It would be nice not to have them if that is possible.

Thanks.

Hi,

With the work of templates, I believe it is still more than possible
That's exclusive to PunBB & PHPBB2.

Also, you can change a members' status via their "profile options" via the admin panel. You can tell who's hidden by the name being in Italics. As an admin, you can see these members

ok, thanks..

If you like, you can let me know if ur using PunBB or PHPBB2 and I can try to find the code for you

Actually I don't have a clue... tell me where to look and I can find it..
Sorry to be dense.

To remove that option
1. PunBB
>> go to admin panel - display - templates / profile >> profile_add_body
Delete this:

Code:

<dl>
<dt><label>{L_HIDE_USER} :</label></dt>
<dd><label><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} /><span class="cont">{L_YES}</span></label>
<label><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} /><span class="cont">{L_NO}</span></label>
</dd>
</dl>

2. PhpBB2
>> go to admin panel - display - templates / profile >> profile_add_body
Delete this:

Code:

    <tr>
        <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_HIDE_USER} :</span></td>
        <td class="row2">
            <label class="gen"><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} />{L_YES}</label>  
            <label class="gen"><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} />{L_NO}</label>
        </td>
    </tr>

Save and publish your template.

To find out what version your forum is, simply go to:

1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. Display Tab
3. Choose a theme (on the left, under Skins)
4. Version Tab and tell us what you see for the version

Then, if you are running on punBB or phpBB 2, please read the Nera.'s post on editing the templates required.
