Ultimate quote and who's online questions

[Night Owl]

Help!

When one of my members, who is not in any private forums, looks at the who's online page, they can see the name of threads users in a private forum are viewing.

How can I fix this problem?

Just in case I can't fix that, I have installed the who's online stealth hack and that has protected the admins and supermods. But I would like to protect one other usergroup. How can I do this?

If I can't protect another usergroup, I would like to open up the Ultimate Quote list page to all users, even if they can't see the Who's Online page. How can I do that?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just not getting answers elsewhere.

Thanks for your time!

Wooo hoooo! I have figured out the who's online problem. Apparently is is a vbulletin bug.

If your private forums are inheriting their permissions from a parent forum, then the thread titles will show up in who's online -- though unauthorized users will not be able to access the thread.

To fix the problem, simply use custom permission settings on each of your private forums. I did this on my board and tested it. It worked! Needless to say, I am quite happy.

I found this information at the vbulletin.com forum in this thread:
