Admin Log In As User

Admin Log In As User 1.2

About this hack:
This hack allows a SUPER ADMIN (settings in your config file) to log in as any user. You have to go to the user's profile page and there will be a link to 'Log In As This User'. Also, there is a link the drop down menu in the ACP User Manager. If you are logged in as another user, you will get a message on top of the forum saying, 'You are currently logged in as another user. Click here to log back into your account.'

This hack is very easy to install. This hack has NO options. Just install and it's ready to be used!

Enjoy!

Hi,

I posted this message on vBulletin.com because of a font problem that started on my boards in the signatures:

Font sizing problem with signatures

I created a signature in my profile and I wanted the first 2 lines of text to be in Arial size 2 and the rest of the text in Arial size 1. For some reason my size 1 and size 2 fonts look exactly the same size when previewed or saved then looked at. But, while I'm inside the actual editing box, the sizes look correct.

In other words, when editing I have 7 font size choices:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

When previewed or even when I save the signature and then go look at it, size 1 and size 2 look the same size. This only occurs in the signature function. It does not occur anywhere else I can find, for example if I format the text size in a thread, it looks ok; size 1 fonts look size 1 and size 2 fonts look like size 2 and so on.

Anyone got a clue what's wrong?

Thanks,
Mark

I've now discovered through that if I disable the ADMIN LOG IN AS USER plugin, my problem goes away. If I reable the plugin, I get the problem again. I tried it a few times to be sure and it works everytime I disable it.

Any thoughts on what could be causing a font problem specifically in signatures when the ADMIN LOG IN AS USER plugin is enabled?

Thanks

I haven't got a clue. I can look into it though.
