Admins can login as user

[mat64]

Is there something like this? As i don't want to change the users password but still been able to login as them, I'm sure i've seen this before but unless im using the wrong keywords i've found nothing

Thanks.

That might be impossible, as the password stored in the cookie is the password the user enters hashed once and the password stored in the database is hashed differently, so you can't de-hash the password in the database to use it in the cookie.
I might be wrong though, and I like the idea, so I'll be working on it.

Thanks for that

You could use the new Quick Account Switch to do so... link your account with that of the user, and then you can "switch" in to their account without knowing/changing their PW.

I will try to work on a hack to make this for vb 3.5.

what did you want to do on their account? there is a hack to post and send pm's on behalf on other members - Post By Proxy, and there was one to read member's PMs, but I don't have that link...

Actually logging on as someone else tho, they may get a little sus if your using the cookie based system, as their new posts will disappear if you've been online, as well as things well people saying 'I saw you on last week', etc

Let me know if it works. I wont try to make the hack if this works.

I'm going to work on my own anyways. Also, make it use plug-ins and not file edits.
