Is it possible to hide a member or in my case a Moderator?
I don't want Moderators to appear in the Member Information/List.
Merci.

Find the following on line 153 of members.asp:

Code:

	if mlev = 4 then
		strSql3 = " WHERE M_NAME <> 'n/a' "
	else
		strSql3 = " WHERE M_STATUS = " & 1
	end if

And replace it with the following:

Code:

	if mlev = 4 then
		strSql3 = " WHERE M_NAME <> 'n/a' "
	else
		strSql3 = " WHERE M_LEVEL<2 AND M_STATUS = " & 1
	end if

That will hide moderators and administrators from regular members and moderators (unless they happen across them when searching) but still display them to administrators.

Thanks

Should I 'Remark Out' the section from line 153 and add below it or just replace it because it has to be at line 153?
If so - how do I 'remark out' I'm not a programmer.

Is editing still an issue in FrontPage if using FrontPage 2003?
Is it true that FP 2003 won't change the code for me?

I'm the wrong person to ask about FrontPage as my tendency is to slap anyone who mentions any sort of so-called "WYSIWYG" editor upside the head with a rather hefty coffee table!

Always best to use a text editor (such as Notepad, which comes with Windows) to edit your ASP files.
You can simply overwrite the code I referenced with the edited code I provided.
For future reference, though, to comment out a line, simply place a ' in front of it. For example:

'This line would be commented outThis line wouldn't

You're welcome

I've always found a coffee table to be more effective in getting my point across than a cricket bat!
