Is it possible to remove easily the option "Invisible on 'Online users' list" from the user profile?

Yeah simply remove it from the template and add in:
<input type=hidden name=invisible value=0>

Sorry, another question again :)
Is the template you are talking about "modifyprofile"?

probably have to do it on more than one template, modifyprofile definitely but the register template as well. (unless they are the same which i am not 100% sure about)

Hi Chris,

There is also the "registeradult" template. I am still checking all the templates.

This sure sounds interesting.
Is there any more info on this matter?

I have imported an UBB database and now I think all members have the "invisable" mode on.
Is it possible to change this for all members with a simple option or modification of some files or do I need
to go by every single member's profile and change it manually?

I don't care if the visible/invisible option switch remains when they login, as long as their login name
appears in the "who's online" section on the board. (so basicly the switch in the register screen gets
ignored even when it's set to yes).

Anybody can help me out?

Greetings,
Spider

There is a MySQL command that you can do via telnet to change them all quickly, but I don't know it off the top of my head. You should post this question in the MySQL forum so someone there can help :)

IIRC, that command is UPDATE user SET visible=1

I think it's visible=1, or invisible=0. :)

Run this through MySQL:
UPDATE user SET visible=1

Use either the mysql client or something like phpMyAdmin.
