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!

Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.
MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL! You will get an email when a new version is released.
This hack is created for your use free of charge. No payment is requested. However, if you would like to donate money for the work I put in to this hack, a donation would show your appreciation.
Any way I can check your site? I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.
I have the same problem.... I think it has to do with vbSEO if you have it installed. The reason is when I click on the log into user on member profile, the vbSEO shows the url http://www.yourforumname.com/members...susername.html
Therefore it won't work that way, unless you can work another way out? It works great from the ACP though
As far as I know, it doesn't log your IP.... I logged in as the user, checked IP and mines never showed up, however!!! if you post with that account, I believe it will show up then.
Also for things like who was online today.... it will show them online if you logged into their account.... just thought I'd let everyone know.
This hack is great, especially when my members sometimes forget pass, or when I want to use my test bot user and don't want to go back and forth logining in and out.....
To prevent this, make sure you use the setting that doesn't mark posts read until you actually read them.
Well, that would solve the logging in as a user problem, but it would really mess up regular browsing. I know that from a member's perspective, when I visit another forum, I'll view new posts (just a list of them)...I'll pass over all of the titles that obviously don't interest me and read the rest. When I visit next time, I don't want to see those posts that I passed over last time...they need to be marked as read. So, that's not really a good overall solution.
If you can't get around this, that's fine, I don't have to have the mod installed, it would just be really really good if I could and avoid this one problem.
