VERSION HISTORY

1.0.5
[+] Ported to vBulletin 3.7.x - 3.8.x.

1.0.4
[+] The modification is now compatible with vBulletin 3.6.4 - a plugin code change was required due to changed format of CVS_REVISION constant.
[+] It is no more possible for an uneditable admin to modify the usergroup(s) he or she belongs to.

1.0.3
[+] The modification is now officially compatible with vBulletin 3.6.0 and above.
[+] The modification is now a product rather than a plugin, and it supports version check.

1.0.2
[+] Added restriction to prevent code from executing anywhere but within user.php.
[+] Added restriction to prevent alteration of password for unalterable administrators.

1.0.1
This is now a plugin instead of a code hack. Cheers to Andreas.

1.0.0
First Public Release

The installation manual is contained within the attached file.

Wouldn't this then defeat the object of being unalterable? I quite like the idea but does it not reduce site security?

That's up to the board owner to decide. It seems to me that, as long as it is not possible to edit the password and/or usergroups, the account is safe enough.
