I see someone else saw something similar to this so what was the problem, or anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem... any chance the person can tell us how? or even the developer?

Looks like it is going gold next week. There will not be any changes that will affect your code.

working for 3.6.10?

[Dannyloski]

^ Yeah, works fine for vB 3.6.10 ... Only issue I had was that once I was logged into the User's Account, when I went ahead and hit the "Click here to go back to your Admin Account" Link I received an error that said something along the lines of "You do not have permission to access this page" and it sent me back to the the Forum Home Page logged in as the User that I had logged on as, rather than my Admin Account. At the same time, it removed the "*Admin_Username*, you are currently using *User_Username*'s account. Click here to go back to your Admin Account" Message from the top, so I had to manually Log Out as that user and Log back in into my Admin Account.

Hi! I'm using this hack in vb 3.8.10 and it seems that it just does not work...!
