invisible for real
 

let's say I have set myself to be invisible, no one in the forum can see me online, however, when the users look at:

they can see 15 members visible, but yet it's saying 16, they will know that there is a user setting himself to be invisible.

is there a way not to count the invisible users within the online users count?

This is the reply I got at vb.com :)

You would also need to do it for the Who's Online, too, I think. ;)

yea, I guess so, but is it possible? (of course it is :P)
anyone has done it yet or maybe willing to do it?

This will hide the number of invisible users to those who can't see invisible users... :)

What about for the Who's online, too? ;)

EDIT: NM, I just looked at the plug-in. ;)

thx chris!

has it been tested before?

I tested it on my forum and it appeared to work as long as you can't see invisible users - It makes sense that you can't lie about the number of invisible users if you can see them :p

Chris, how could I do the same thing for certain member IDs (like mine) from everyone, whether they can see invisible users or not?

You would have to (most likely) alter functions_online.php to remove referencing to the usergroup permissions when your userid is online :)

Upon investigation I have narrowed it to:

This function - There are no hooks inside the function so a file-edit is probable if not manditory :)

Works perfectly! Thx!
