Perhaps your MySQL user does not have drop permissions?

I am working with that user on MySQL since vb 2.x and since vb introduced plugins I have never had a problem with uninstalling products ...

So no, there is not a permission error .. the error doesn't even say it does not have the permission .. it says there is a duplicate hence it does not remove the tables (or whatever) when uninstalling and there was no error when uninstalling anyway

Dunno what to tell you.. Doesn't happen to me and I have tried it on three different servers myself.

You will have to manually remove these COLUMNS from these tables:

usergroup -> phide_permissions

thread -> phide

user -> phide_optionsfield

Thanks for this mod.... however, it isnt exactly what I'm looking for.

It is *almost* though.

I need to be able to say which groups can use this feature (ok, we got that), but I do not want a global switch which applies to all user threads....

I want it selectable on a *per thread* basis (Not posts, coz some convos would end up not making sense)

Hope you can help.

From the readme:
Exactly how/where do I do this?

AdminCP -> Usergroups: Select a usergroup. Check the box to give the permission.

Hmm...I must have screwed something up because that is not an option in my usergroup manager.

*off to retrace my steps*

I figured it out. Thank you!

**Nevermind, I figured it out**

But I do have a question. Is there anyway to have this as a univeral option instead of a per thread basis? In otherwords an option in the UserCp where they can choose to hide all their posts from guests?

Not as it stands, no.
