Um..... Say again?

You want them to appear on the list of USERS ONLINE, but you want them to not be granted permission that way they do NOT go into Private forums?

You'd have to make an <IF> statement of some sort and put that IF statement inline with the list of users online so that it visually looks like they are just another member, when they are actually another bit of code that appears AFTER the users are all listed.

And though I have the idea of what to do, I haven't a clue HOW to do it. I'm sorry. But I thought I'd toss this idea out cuz it might help someone else that does know how to do it now that I stuck the idea in their head.
