Who's Online False Location for vB 4
 

Who's Online False Location for vB 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will show viewers of the Who's Online pre-defined actions for userids that you choose. You can exclude users from the Members List (and count), as well as replace the Last Visit in Members List, or Profile Last Activity, with a phrase.

NOTE: I know this has been done before for vb 3, but I re-wrote the code for my specific purposes and added a few options that were missing in the other one.

Credits:
Thanks goes out to nfn for allowing me to use his Exclude Users from Members List modification idea.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Added Exclude Users from Members List (and Members List count) for Who's Online False Location Userids. Also added the ability to show a custom phrase for the Profile Last activity as well as the Last Visit in the Members List.

Hey Boofo, love your stuff, you're very talented coder.

But unlike your other work, I've got problem with this one. Every time I go to who's online list my browser freezes (IE8, Win XP). I tried on another computer with different OS (IE8,Vista) and same issue. Uninstalled and everything went back to normal. Have any ideas why is this?

Have you tried in another browser?

No, I am oldfashioned IE user.
Will try messing around, I'm sure it will work eventualy.

It works fine for me in IE7 and IE8. Make sure your host is allowing fgets to work.
