* Made forum statistics invisible to all groups expect group 6 (Admins) which is me , However forum members requested re-enabling them again after several days in spite of explaining to them my reasons!

Is there anyway to allow forum statistics and at the same time to Prevent Users awaiting Email confirmation and awaiting Moderation from getting displayed on them!

I think users awaiting confirmation arent shown on Who's online. Check if the usergroup id is listed in forum.php. Usually the usergroup id of Users Awaiting Email Confirmation is 3 it may be different on your forum. If it is then add that number to the skipgroups array in forum.php like 3,4,5 etc.

PHP Code:

$skipgroups = array(3,4); 


Also set your usergroup permissions so that Users Awaiting Email Confirmation cant post on the forums.
