It lets me click 'no' on "let this group view who's online".

So why is this MOD necessary? Am I missing something?

1. The setting you mentioned is just for the online.php script (see below). This product does not improve this setting.
2. This product here is for selecting the guest view of who's online on forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread.

Reported locations do take forum permissions into consideration. For example, if a user in the online list is viewing a forum that the current logged in user doesn't have access to, then online.php will only report that they are viewing a forum and not give the name of the forum.

Who's online must be enabled in your vBulletin options for this permission to have any effect. Additionally, there are several Who's online settings on that page in your vBulletin options.

Please note: This product is integrated in vbulletin 3.6. If you have vbulletin 3.6 installed, there's no need for installing this product.
