This vB v.3.0.3 mini-mod makes it so that an admin who sets him/herself to invisible via the User CP is not shown in the X members online counts.
The invisible admin still shows to him/herself with a * next to the username so anyone who can see the username* listing can see the invisible admin.
This mini-mod is to remove the invisible admin from the forum home counts and the who's online counts. Note that the Admin CP counts are not changed.
For example, say an invisible admin is online, and there are also 5 non-invisible members and 10 guests online. That means there would be 6 members and 10 guests online.
After the install of this mini-hack, the counts would then be as follows:
Forum Home -> Currently Active Users: 15 (5 members and 10 guests)
Who's Online -> 5 members and 10 guests
Admin CP Home -> 16 Users Online (6 members and 10 guests)
The original purpose of this mini-mod was to make it so that the admin with userid of 1 who likes to be invisible could troll his/her own forums without being counted.
This mini-mod was then extended so that any invisible member specified by userid in the mini-mod code could be excluded from the forum home and who's online counts.
Only apply this mini-mod if there are already members set to invisible, who plan to stay invisible, as this mini-mod does not cross-reference 'invisibleness' of members.
A cursory search didn't show a hack like this, although one could exist. Support is not guaranteed.
