I'm doing some testing on my board by logging into other user accounts which...

The problem is that I was running vB 2.0.3, but I forgot to upgrade to 2.2.9...

Thanks for the comments.

You know what would be a great feature for a future release? The ability for an admin or other with permission to hide all posts from a user. Enter a username, tick...
