Hide guests in the who's online section?

[snake-boy]

Hi,

I have set the guest usergroup to "Viewable on memberlist = NO", and used the forum permissions to:

"Unregistered users/Not logged = no for all"...

[snake-boy]

Okay, so how do we block them?

Hi,

When a post is made and en route to the moderation queue, a msg appears (briefly) to tell the user his message needs to get validated before it appears.

Somewhere I recall...

The problem with that way of doing it is that it does not solve the space consumption problem.

My host is REALLY tight with their space allocation for mysql databases, so deleting posts...

[snake-boy]

That did it, thank you!

I wish I knew enough about php to do a hack like this on my own. So I guess it's off to vbulletin.org for that one. Thanks for the info.
I see your logic about the posts, but I still feel that...

This question is twofold:

Since (hard) deleting a post impacts on users post counts, we have been simply moving posts to a forum that users cannot see so that it looks like the post is deleted,...

Hi,

Only having a couple of users who have been placed into a usergroup who's posts require moderation, I would like to know how I can get notified via a PM (or another method?) that there...

[snake-boy]

Ok, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had hoped there would be a simpler way (like a tickbox - "moderate this users posts" in his profile or something similar ) I guess...

[snake-boy]

How would I apply moderation to just one user? - I want this users posts to queue for moderation for every post in every forum. How would I do this? I do not want to change his usergroup(s). I imagine...

Hi,

I have read the procedure for backup/restore, but unfortunately I have no telnet or SSH shell access to my host. I DO have phpmyadmin, but (I believe) due to the size of the database,...

[snake-boy]

Excellent! - thanks for the info and advise

I've never even heard of it. What is this?

I have ftp access as well as phpmyadmin access to my database. (via Plesk control panel) but that's about it. Does that help me?

[snake-boy]

Ok, thanks for this info. I guess my next question has to be: "how can I disable this?"

ie, I never want to see any mention of guests, only registered, logged in users. Is this...

Hi,

How exactly is a "Guest" defined? My board is a private one, and accounts have to be pre-created so it is not possible for users to register themselves, yet on my forum's...

Thank you for this info.

Examining my own cookie I see something like:

bblastvisit

url to my forum

[snake-boy]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I might find a 'line-by-line' breakdown of exactly what data is being stored in the cookie?

I have managed to find some of the information, and...

Hi,

Is it possible (via an option change or possibly a hack of sorts) to have the news of a thread be unique. ie the count only increases for each NEW view - so that if the same user views...
