Viewing users that are invisible

[jimnyc]

I'm running version 2.3.2

As the administrator, I am the only one that can see users online that are marked as invisible. Is it possible to change it so that regular moderators can see this too?

If not, how do I turn off the invisible option globally? (for dummies as I don't have any type of root access to the server, it'll need to be done from control panel)

Thanks!

I think this requires hacking.

Ask over at www.vbulletin.org

I should have searched first, sorry!

I see the option can be removed with some editing of the code:

I ran the query that Steve Machol suggested:
UPDATE user SET invisible=0;

This changed the option for all current users. I'm assuming they still have the ability to change it back since I didn't edit the actual code and only ran the query. And I'm not sure if this only changes it for currently online users or all users that had it turned on globally.

Wish it was just an option in control panel!

That query only changes it for your current members. To change it for new registrants you'll need to edit the templates as shown in the thread you linked to.

Thanks, Steve.
