    Remove the invisible mode option from the following templates
    Registration Templates -> registeradult and registercoppa

    Code:
    <tr>
     <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Invisible Mode?</b></normalfont><br>
     <smallfont>Selecting yes allows you to surf the forums without appearing in the 'Logged In Users' list.</smallfont></td>
     <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>
      <input type="radio" name="invisible" value="yes"> yes
      <input type="radio" name="invisible" value="no" checked> no
     </normalfont></td>
    </tr>

       </normalfont></td>
      </tr>
      actually, that would still allow the person registering to still check YES.you actually wanna replace the entire thing:
      Code:
      tr>
       <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Invisible Mode?</b></normalfont><br>
       <smallfont>Selecting yes allows you to surf the forums without appearing in the 'Logged In Users' list.</smallfont></td>
       <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>
        <input type="radio" name="invisible" value="yes"> yes
        <input type="radio" name="invisible" value="no" checked> no
       </normalfont></td>
      </tr>
      with

      Code:
      <input type="hidden" name="invisible" value="yes">
      in those templates.
      -ant.

          would this remove invisible mode from current users too?

          I am using version 2.3.2 - if I want to remove the option for invisible mode from current users, what can I do?

            Run this query:

            UPDATE user SET invisible=0;

              there's still one more problem

              i removed the code indicated, and the 'be invisible?' option is no longer there when registering - however once you register, and then go into 'options', you can still pick the 'be invisible' option - so what do I replace to take this out of the user cp options template?

                Like Jilly, I removed the script, and the option is still available in the user cp, which is really the one I wanted to get rid of.

                Any other ideas?

                  Remove from the modifyprofile template, I believe.

                    OK, you put me in the right direction, thanks.

                    You do it by removing this piece of code in the 'modify options' template:

                    <tr>
                    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Invisible Mode?</b><br>
                    <smallfont>Selecting yes allows you to surf the forums without appearing in the 'Logged In Users' list.</smallfont></normalfont></td>
                    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>
                    <input type="radio" name="invisible" value="yes" $invisiblechecked> yes
                    <input type="radio" name="invisible" value="no" $invisiblenotchecked> no
                    </normalfont></td>
                    </tr

                    then the option is removed from the user, but an administrator can still set a user to 'invisible'

                    thanks everyone.

                      I don't have that code in 3.0.3. Maybe I'm missing something?
