Disabling the "Hide Me option" in user profiles?

[ccaveman84]

Hello!

OK I'm fairly new to all this myBB stuff but I'm picking it up fairly quicly as I was on (Dare I say it ) PHPBB3 before lol.

OK I would like to know if there is any way to disable the "Hide Me"/Privacy option in the users profile?

I have looked around but not found anything
and would like to be able to get rid of this option if possible.

I don't like people being invisible it's un-natural lol.

In usercp_options template find and delete:

<fieldset class="trow2">
<legend><strong>{$lang->login_cookies_privacy}</strong></legend>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="invisible" id="invisible" value="1" {$invisiblecheck} /></td>
<td><span class="smalltext"><label for="invisible">{$lang->invisible_mode}</label></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
<br />

In member_register template find and delete:

<tr>
<td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="invisible" id="invisible" value="1" {$invisiblecheck} /></td>
<td valign="top"><span class="smalltext"><label for="invisible">{$lang->invisible_mode}</label></span></td>
</tr>

If you have users already set to invisible you'll also need to run a SQL query in your database manager (usually phpMyAdmin) to change their settings:

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `invisible` = '0' WHERE `invisible` = '1'
