Can I just get this clear? Are saying this is a bad modification from a moral perspective or the actual code or modification itself.

If I remember correctly, that guy has posted things like that in the Read PM hack and others. What he forgets is that an admin has complete access to the database and could do whatever they wanted anyways. If they think they can't trust their admins, maybe they need to find different admins. Personally I find it a good way to switch to my test account to check permission settings.

alkahf - quit crapping in people's threads. If you don't like something, don't install it. It's people like you that make my blood boil.

I have installed this hack on vb 3.6.7 and it does not show in my user quick links even if I restart the admincp:

Any reason for that?

You will need to enable access to this feature in the Administrator Permissions

AdminCP >> Usergroups >> Administrator Permissions >> Admin Log In as User [yes/no]

;)

I agree !
personally , I uninstalled this hack ....
Although adminstrator access the database ... and can do what he/she likes ... but make such thing that common and break private area ... I thing it is NOT moral ...

Although the codes and the plugin has a lot of issue that I mentioned....

before ... I hacked the forum that using admin_log_in as user .... all the forums that use this hack ... make a hole in their forum .. I mentioned the way : uninstall the hack or add the password request ... other way the forum will be hacked !!

Maybe you could fix the second problem ... but the first problem ( ignor private of our user ) never will be fixed !!

that is the End .

This is a great trouble shooting tool. Nothing more, nothing less. If you have a member that has a problem no one else is having and you can't duplicate the problem with your test account then slipping in as the member is a way to see and resolve the problem. The member's happy, you're happy, life goes on. If you think it's being abused by an admin let the owner of the forum know.
A couple of the places I hang my derby at use this. Personally I don't take issue with it.
I think I'll grab it for my place. Consider it installed.

If you guys don't like the MOD, then don't use it! You are not welcome, nor do you have the right to come to this thread and bash it.

It doesn't bring vBulletin down - It enhances it. Many people (obviously, at least 400) have a use for this.
What if a user is a complete newbie and needs to change a setting, but doesn't know how? There is no way to do it for them without a mod like this.

This mod has many uses other than to snoop in your members' accounts and send fake PM's...

So please stop disrupting the board and bashing the mod. :)

Also: is there a way to tell if a board is using it without someone telling you?

No there is not.

No-one sees you even logged in and it does not get recorded by vB.

installed ... thanks :up:
