Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Login To User Account

Installed, thanks man.

For some reason I get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error when I click login as user. Then if I hit the back button, I am logged in as that user. Then when I switch back to my own account it gets the same error message and when I click back in my browser, I am back to my account again.

Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

Excellent tool thank you.

Had to uninstall this as it is causing members to have "No permission " errors all over the forum.

Also found the same issue as admin , having checked a user account I then had problems getting back to my own account and the ACP on several occassions.

Edit: Re installed today and have found no problem , why the errors came up before I cannot answer.

Hi!

One question: When you (Admin) login as nother user, it will show up as if the user really is online, in the "Whos online" list at bottom of forum index...

Is it possible to avoid it? How to NOT show up that the user is online?


Thank you very much! :up:

You can see yourself logged in as another user, but other users will not see you.

I can't make this hack work.

I use zoints local and everytime I try to login as user it redirects me to zoints local page for member info.

Any fix for this?
