That shouldn't be hard. You just need to include that new mod group to some of the files you have made changes to.

Search for "6" in the vBStealth 1.3 instructions and you'll find which files to modify.

Nice hack. Good job in incorporating all the features of "Secret Ban" and adding the new ones. :)

Thanks Erwin. :D

This works absolutely fantastic!

thank You all for great job done.

Thanks Martin.. I will try that

Have installed due to one very annoying user and works well except:
Threads started by the Stealth Banned (SB) user are listed in forumdisplay with both "Thread Starter" and (if not replied to) "Last Post" credited to them.
I have had a number of members asking why they can see the thread links for posts that the SB user has started (and never been replied to) but there is nothing there when they click on them.
In the case of a thread started by the SB user before the ban was introduced, members are asking why the thread starters name is listed but apparently hasn't posted in the thread.

Is the way I describe the same as what others have found or have I missed a step in the install?

Go through the instructions once again, threads started by stealth banned users will not show up in forumdisplay except to admins, mods and the stealth banned user who posted it.

Thats what I thought - thanks Martin64, will do.

Sounds really good.

Just to let you know, I'm working on a new version that changes how things are working quite a bit. I have tested it locally and will now run it on my real board to see how it's working out.

What's new?

- Stealth banned users will see eachother's posts, but noone else except admins and mods will.
- Threads and posts before the user was banned will show up, but threads and posts after the user was banned will be hidden to everyone but stealth banned users, admins and mods.
