make whole usergroup "invisible"
 

Hi Guys,

How can I make an entire usergroup show up as "invisible"?

Basically I want to make my "users awaiting email confirmation" show as invisible so that normal members cannot see them logged on (as when spammers make it through its annoying seeing usernames like "3hd83ffj2bwf" across the bottom of the forum in our users active in 24 hours section). Is there any simple way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

anyone? I thought this would be fairly simple, although admittedly, beyond me :o

nobody offer any help?

anybody? with the knowledge base in here, someone must be able to point me in the right direction?

still not any further forward with this im afraid. not getting much luck finding information on how to go about this.

I'm doing this off the top of my head and haven't tested it, but: create a plugin using hook forumhome_loggedinuser_query and this code:

Then create another plugin using hook location forumhome_whovisited_prelist and this code:

Hi Kh99,
