I am on a 6.3 board and wanted to know if a hack existed where you do not allow members to be hidden or guests from the user online option? Our board is "sign in" before you can post, so there are no guests.

I'd just like to know whos online.

Thanks ahead of time.

This is possible using a hidden setting in 6.7.

Do note that users are considered guests before actually logging in, so guests may still show up.

Ok, so nothing for 6.3.

All users have to log in before they can view the forum, so there actually are no "guests", just hidden members. For security reasons, I want to see who is browsing and I can't find any information on the "guests".

if your an admin, you can just view admin view, which will list hidden users by their name

Thank you.

My trusty search option found me this: extended pntf

Extended PNTF can't do that... However, try the following.

1. To remove it from the UI: (you can skip this part if you can't understand the lacking instructions, and simply say to your users that it doesn't matter what they select in their profiles)
   Go to public_edit_profile.pl and public_register_form.pl (or maybe 6.3 had public_register_page.pl and public_register_page_kid.pl,) find the code which deals with hiding users from PNTF by searching for "pntf_regprofile_hide" in those files and remove that section.
   That will, as aforesaid, remove it from the UI.
2. Now for the actual part. Go to public_pntf_summary.pl.
   Find (twice):
   
   Code

   && ($r->{'uniq'}->{$user}->[2] == 0)

   Remove it. Make sure you don't remove the other part of the line, of course.

These instructions aren't tested, but it should work.
