why?

Re: Hidden

That's a pretty common feature in other forums, but I've never really understood what good it does.  With something like instant message software, I can see this as being desirable, but why in forums?

hey smile

it could be useful, if you want to browse the forums without people knowing your online. i think Rickard said this is a lightweight forum, so i dont think its at all nessicary.

Re: Hidden

just modify your index.php

at line 179 youll find this
        if ($cur_user_online['user_id'] > 0)

just make is say
        if ($cur_user_online['user_id'] > 0&&$cur_user_online['user_id'] != your_idnumber)

and make sure to replace your_idnumber with your id number, you will then be identified as guest instad ... and not visible in the list

Re: Hidden

I don't have administration controls, though I will ask if needed.

Thanks smile

Re: Hidden

but in what circumstances would you want to not be seen?

Re: Hidden

Well, I leave my computer on over night, It looks a bit wierd when I'm on the list not moderating when people make threads directly aimed at me.

Re: Hidden

but you don't appear online then you only appear online if you have been on in the last 5 minutes

Re: Hidden

yes, if a page isnt loaded in 5 min, it counts you as offline.

that is why there isnt 2000 people all online in our forums wink
