Make admins invisible to moderators

This is a very simple yet useful hack that improves the invisible mode browsing for the admins. It allows administrators to browse the board in privacy and without being seen by the moderators or supermods. They can still be seen and tracked by other administrators.

Sorry about that. :nervous: I reread your post more carefully. I see that you are including s'mods on up.

On my first read through, I thought you were referring to not allowing moderators to see administrators. And I think THAT is an option:

"Can see users who choose to be invisible while online" YES or NO

Sounds like a nice hack. I would gladly install it.

Zzed, I think you are missing something in your instructions.
The 2nd file modification...where is it performed (in which file) ?

I think the missing one should be online.php.

My sincerest apologies to all.

Rinkat is right. The missing filename was online.php. I updated the attached instructions.
