is there a way to force a specific member online
 

can i do this?

force them to do what?

have a member be online when in actuality they were offline.

not sure I really understand what you mean... but other than going to them physically and holding a gun to their head i don't think you can force anyone to get on their computer and get online and log in to your forum.

i mean is there any hack or something i can modify that can allow me to log them onto my site. i am not talking about all the members i am speaking of specific ones.

maybe something like Cyb - Login To Other User Account would do what you want.... as long as they already have an account/membership.

Change their password through admincp Lol

I personally don't do that unless I absolutely HAVE to, and then only after pm'ing or otherwise contacting the member that I need to do this and ask their permission,on the rare occasion that it's been necessary. But that's me.....

i want my mods to be shown as online, well at least one of them at all times. is their a hack for usergroups?

don't really understand why a mod should be shown as online when they really aren't... for what purpose?
