Hi PcFreak,

Great idea, I'll definitely give this a try. Are you aware of any problems/issues with vB 3.7?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I have been working on a surprise and I didn't want the other Admins or Staff to see the location. So I modified the plugin to add an extra like to rewrite the $userinfo['location'] variable as follows.

Now, if the staff hover over the "?" they see that I am in 'Control Center Alpha' so nobody sees my surprise

PHP Code:

// check to make sure VB_AREA is defined
if (defined('VB_AREA'))
    {
    $onlinefake = file ('who_is_online_fake.txt');
    switch($userinfo['username'])
    {
        case 'Quarterbore':
            srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
            shuffle ($onlinefake);
            $userinfo['action'] = $onlinefake[0];        
            $userinfo['where'] = '';
            $userinfo['location'] = 'Control Center Alpha'; 
            break;  
                  
    }
}
