Hi all, It seems when a new user signs up on my site, they shown as hidden by default - only in my forums, rest of the site they show up as normal (online) Not sure if this helps but Im using the cbn account 4.4 for nuke 7.4. Is there a way I can edit some code so they show as online by default. Or EVEN better how do I complety remove the option to pick hid your online status from my website, then everybody will show as online lol, thanks.

PS. Not 1 word about sissy Jeff Gordon winning the daytona 500 Bang Head

Have you tried the method menelaos61 previously mentioned here: http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/postt3663.html
I think the intention was to give the user the highest level of privacy by default and let them choose to lower it if they want to.

Run this from phpmyadmin to change all users at once.
UPDATE nuke_users SET user_allow_viewonline = '1' WHERE user_allow_viewonline ='0';
You might have to run it this way to if there are blank entries.
UPDATE nuke_users SET user_allow_viewonline = '1' WHERE user_allow_viewonline ='';

The forums share the same users table so the issue remains the same.

If you want to disllow the change you will have to edit several YA files and set the value to be saved only as 1 and edit the forum theme to pass the same value in a hidden field.
