Limit "Who's Online" to Registered Users
 

Small board, with moderated membership here.

The "Who's Online" list shows all users, even those who have yet to validate their email address, or are still in the queue for user moderation. That opens a can of worms for us, especially if that user ends up not being approved.

Is there a way to limit the display of "Who's Online" to just those who are Registered Users... or maybe even "just those whose postcount is greater than zero" (a preference available for the display of Member List.)

Something. Anything. Right now it displays anyone, even pending users, who may or may not end up completing registration.

EDIT: Nevermind, misunderstood the question

No, all I see is the option of allowing which groups "Can View Who's Online."

I don't see a way to prevent certain usergroups (ie: Users Awaiting Email Confirmation, (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation) from showing up on the "Who's Online" list.

The above code looks like it will only show "What's Going On" to registered users. That's not what I am looking to do.

I am looking to alter exactly who appears on the "Who's Online" list both in the "What's Going On" footer, as well as the "Who's Online QuickLink here:

Essentially, I want it to display only REGISTERED USERS, MODS, and ADMINS, and leave out any guests or unregistered people still waiting for authorization. Makes no sense to show them as online, when on my restricted forum they can't see or do anything until they are activated and approved. And since that may never happen, they may be rejected, I'd just as soon not publish their names as having been online so my users can ask about the "new name they just saw online."
