That's precisely what it does.

vBulletin already works that stuff out, showing invisible people to those who should see the, and hiding them from those who shouldn't.

All I've done is add a switch to retain that information in the user object/array so that we can access it. We're not bothered about whether they are invisible or not... just whether we have permission to see that they are online or not... hence the true|false indicator for IsOnline.

Then we can simply access IsOnline and know how to handle it in the conditional in the template.

If you wanted to use my way of doing it, then yes you'd need to uninstall the original.

However I should reiterate that my way doesn't cater for the memberlist fading... mainly because I'm not using it. But it shouldn't take anyone too long to figure out the few changes needed to get that working.
