I have turned of the Who's Online because I don't want everyone to see it. I have two admin groups set up. One consists of me and my friend who are the Owners. Then I have a regular Admin group. As of right now the Owners can see the Who's Online even though it's turned off. How can I make it so that the Admin group can see it to. I'm sure it's here somewhere or in the vB options and I'm just overlooking it.

Usergroup Manager > Edit Usergroup > Can View Who's Online > Yes

I tried this. They said they could not see it even when it was checked yes.

Well, you need to have it Enabled (vboptions > who's online options) and then you set the permissions per usergroup for who can see it and who can't.

Make sure that any secondary groups they are in also cannot see it.

I am still having this problem for "Unregistered / Not Logged In". There is no secondary group for them.

Also at the bottom in stats it says "Threads: 758, Posts: 6,299, Members: 110, Active Members: 49"

Could you happen to tell me how to disable the active members to.

If you have it set so unregistered users can't see it and they are still seeing it, then I would guess you have a custom style that perhaps didn't add the code in. Go to Edit your template and hit View History > Compare and see if the condition has been taken out.

If you go to vboptions > Show All Settings and then in your browser do a search on the term Active, you will find the option under Forum Home Page Options

Thanks. It wasn't the skin. Turns out in the same place as the active thing. There a option to show all visitors who's online. I changed to to all members online and it's fixed.

Thanks for your help Lynne.
