Is there a script you could turn me on to that allows this to be viewed by forum members who have reached a certain "reputation" level only? Like 150+? Thanks in advance!

...will restrict viewing only to admins and mods. Add other usergroups at your discretion.

Installed, and thanks. :up:

I'm pretty much a newbie with phpMyadmin. When I submited the query I received this:

You have to choose at least one Column to display

What now? :ermm:

I'm running the most recent version - 2.7.0-pl1.

I need this hack for only some Forum (some thread), not for all forums (not all threads), can I help me?

[ForeverForums]

i got this working flawless in 3.5.2

*installs*

[AraServ]

i can't make it work on 3.5.3 !!!

[Silvio]

Working smoothly on 3.5.3 *installed*


Is there the possibility to have more options than the very usefull Hidden user one?

---> avoid showing admins and/or mods?

ty and regards
