That'd be cool if firefly did that! Except that, for me, I'd want to remove the bit of code that displays someone's name. If I left it in, I'd feel like one of those nasty kids who pulled down other kid's pants in school.

BTW... I continue to have some issues with this hack myself (as you can read above, i couldn't even get it going without taking out security modified queries, toying around, then placing the security modified queries back in) .

Even though usergroups 5, 6 and 7 are blocked exclusively, the hack still doesn't show searches by guests/not logged in folks (group 1), even though they can certainly perform searches.

And something else I just noticed is that people in group 3 -- awaiting email moderation -- their searches DO show up... but when I click on them in the last 10 list, nothing comes up! For one, it says "101 posts" next to the search, yet when I click on it and vB respond back saying "Sorry, no matches". (I've tried it logged on as both an admin and a normal registered user)

If I then do the *exact* same search again as as a normal user (group 2), then the search works, and it's entry on the last 10 list works, too... for everyone, in all groups. (as far as I can tell, anyway)

Kinda funky.

My usergroups are default.
Group 1 are Unregistered/not logged in.
Group 2 are normal Registered Users.
Group 3 are Users Awaiting Email Confirmation.
Group 4 are COPPA Users Awaiting Moderation.
Group 5 are Super Moderators.
Group 6 are Administrators.
Group 7 are Moderators.

Since my vB is so new, a lot of other things are default, too, and the code itself is relatively unhacked.

Any tips anyone?

212rikanmofo, in your vB control panel, on the left side of the screen, look for "User Groups". Under that, select "Modify". Hover your mouse over "Edit" link for each group, and in the url displayed on the status line of your browser.. at the very end, you'll something like &usergroup=7. That's the method I use to tell which usergroup is assigned to each number.
