not sure why/how, but installing this messed up some profile pic options. users could not see others profile pics on their profile pic pages (even regular users, not using this mod)... uninstalled for now.

Log-out, clear forum cookies, re-login, then try again.

I've changed my username.

Valter = Cybernetec.

Cyb - mods are now VSa - mods.

I seem to have the opposite result than most, I have the Login as User option in the user profile, but I do not have it in the ACP Users dropdown. And, yes, the setting is enabled.

I first installed "the other" mod that does the same thing, but it didn't work in either place. So for now, I'm happy to have half a mod, which is certainly better than none.

Thank!

dont work in 4.0.1

[GeorgeB85]

Thanks to Lynne's help, I have found one tiny flaw in this. At least for my forum. The log in user link displays in the users profiles to non registered/not logged in users, and not just admins.
