It works for me on 4.1.12PL1, so I think that there shouldn't be problems with 4.1.7.

Product is imported properly.. I tried from admin cp and forum... none works.
I even tried changing skin to default :erm:

Great Mod! Just what I needed to help my Clan stay organized! Thanks a lot Bud!

It's a little wonky for me on 4.2 ... it works most of the time but sometimes it forgets what it's doing and leaves me permanently logged in as someone else. At that point all I have to do is log out and log back in.

thanks alot
installed ...

I think that when an admin, who is logged in as (another) user and is not allowed to read the user's PM's, removes specific cookies while logged in as the user, he has access to read the PM's.. Am I right?

working perfectly for me on 4.2.0, but there is an issue, when this product is enabled, nobody can see profile's picture of each others... can u fix this please ?? =)

On 4.2.0, this has been working perfect until today. The only thing that has changed in we have added a new usergroup with no profile features.

When attempting to check this user's permissions with this add-on, I get the following results. (I don't want to try in IE, I really hate the POS)

Firefox - Nothing but load the profile of the user you are trying to test permissions on.
Chrome - Database Timeout and the constant Database errors
Opera - As Above

A clear cache and what not fixes the issue. Is it just me?

Everything seems to be working fine on 4.2 PL2.

Question: Anyway to disable it showing the user I'm logged into as "Online"?

Got this when installed on 4.2
