Does this record the IP of the Superadmin as well or will this be 'invisible'?

Will this list / add this user to the active user list?

It does not record you logging in. Also, others will not see you as online.

You can edit the template how ever you would like.

Just to let you know you forgot to close a url tag in the header

currently is

<!-- Start Admin Log In As User -->
<if condition="$_REQUEST['admin_log_in_as_user'] OR $_COOKIE[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'admin_log_in_as_user']">
	<div align="center" style="color: red; background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding:2px"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session?[sessionurl]&amp;log_out_admin_log_in_as_user=true">$vbphrase[admin_log_out_as_user]</div>
</if>
<!-- End Admin Log In As User -->

should be

<!-- Start Admin Log In As User -->
<if condition="$_REQUEST['admin_log_in_as_user'] OR $_COOKIE[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'admin_log_in_as_user']">
	<div align="center" style="color: red; background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding:2px"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session?[sessionurl]&amp;log_out_admin_log_in_as_user=true">$vbphrase[admin_log_out_as_user]</a></div>
</if>
<!-- End Admin Log In As User -->

for those who prefer "manual" way of doing things, here's an idea.

1. duplicate the 'adminstrator' group. don't format your title. just make it look like the registered user group. but give administrative permission.
2. register/make a new nick and put this under the newly created admin group.

so it will look as if there is no admin online because u will appear like any other user.

there you go. secret, undercover admin.

What if you want to test a users account because they are compalining about something. What is your 'manual' way?
