    Hi ..

    What about an options that allow the admin and ONLY admin to log in and stay in the chat like a ghost (invisible for users) so he/she have the possibility to follow the chat without attention from all chat users ??

      as a quick fix. you can modify you usersH.php3 or usersL.php3 such that the currentroomquery and otherroomquery will query for all other members of the chat other than those with perms='admin'

      something like this...
          $currentRoomQuery    = 'SELECT usr.username, usr.latin1, usr.status, reg.gender '
                              . 'FROM ' . C_USR_TBL . ' usr LEFT JOIN ' . C_REG_TBL . ' reg ON usr.username = reg.username '
                              . 'WHERE usr.room = \'' . $R . '\' '
                              . 'AND reg.perms != \'admin\' '
                              . 'ORDER BY username';

      you will have to change all the query (either all or that responding to your database).

      However, being a quick fix, this only hides the admin from the chatroom panels on the right but does not prevent 'admin enters the room' from being displayed.

      Hi All!

      Hum I don't like very much this idea: I don't want to allow "Big Brother" to enter the chat ;)

      Cheers,
      Loc

        Hi Loc

        I don't like big brother neither. I understand your opinion.

        BUT .. Hypothetical:

        I you have in you chat a very very crazy users or perhaps a flooder and your moderators cannot stop this person/them (the user(s) must be banish with the * options) then admin must come online.

        When the admin comes online the user(s) becomes no flooder, a good chatter etc. then the options that admin could become a ghost will very nice so the admin can see with this on eyes what is going on.

        Yes. I know we have the /save options, look in database options etc. but it is not the same like real time seeing ..

        Regards
          Kenneth

          Well, after 5 years, the Plus version does this with the lurking feature enabled.

      I am curious about the ability of admins to view private messages between users.
      Is this a stock feature and/or can it be added?
      thank you
