I've just turned one moderator back to REGISTERED and he still shows up as part of the STAFF.... He has tried from different computers but results are the same.

He has cleaned cookies and cache but he's still there...

Any ideas??

This has nothing to do with this hack.

If he still shows up as staff he is still in at least one staff group.

Yes it does.

No. He DOES NOT appear on the SHOWGROUPS.php list.
He's a REGISTERED user now.
He is NOT a moderator of ANY forum.
He does NOT see the HIDDEN moderators forum.
He has cleaned cookies and cache...

But he still appears categorized as part of the STAFF.

What else?

Check your Forum settings to see if he is still listed as a Moderator to a forum (even though he isn't in the moderators usergroup anymore).

If you can't find him there, check the database moderator tables to see if he's still among those. I think that's the problem here (caused by vB not deleting these entries properly when changing mods back to normal members, perhaps...)

Is that a normal issue (bug) in the 2.3.0 version of the board? I can only think of your second option as he definetly is NOT moderating any forum...

Found it on moderator table!

Wotta weirdo!!

Hence, 'twas nothing to do with my hack after all :)

blaaaaaah! :P

U must reckon this was the only place to ask for this issue :P ;)

Fair enough :)

I was the easiest way of getting a fix, for you, cos i know the code of my hack, yup. :)
