I want to disable my user's ability to hide their online status. Any ideas?

You will need to modify the profile_add_body.tpl template in whatever forum template you are using. If you use the default 'subSilver', then comment out these lines

Code:

   <tr>


     <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_HIDE_USER}:</span></td>


     <td class="row2">


      <input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} />


      <span class="gen">{L_YES}</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;


      <input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} />


      <span class="gen">{L_NO}</span></td>


   </tr>

If the theme you are using has its own forum template, then find lines like those above and comment them out.

I don't follow you on "comment out these lines" I do use the subsilver as the default.

Code:




//<tr> 


     //<td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_HIDE_USER}:</span></td> 


     //<td class="row2"> 


      //<input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} /> 


      //<span class="gen">{L_YES}</span>&nbsp;&nbsp; 


      //<input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} /> 


      //<span class="gen">{L_NO}</span></td> 


   //</tr>

That is how I usually comment stuff out.

Since that is HTML, comment it like this

Code:

   <!-- tr> 


     <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_HIDE_USER}:</span></td> 


     <td class="row2"> 


      <input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} /> 


      <span class="gen">{L_YES}</span>&nbsp;&nbsp; 


      <input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} /> 


      <span class="gen">{L_NO}</span></td> 


   </tr -->

ok, that worked good for the profile under the forums. It is still there under the YOUR ACCOUNT settings as an option. Can that be removed also?
