Hide a Moderator

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

It is indeed; I must've had my cursor on the last line (which is 153) of that block when checking the line number.

I claim the right to only be hit with an occasional table now.<

Shaggy here might be a tricky one for you but can you do this but only have it include the super admin. I have people taking over their own forums but I am still the Super Admin and would like nothing to go through me just through the people I am doing it for?<

Just to clarify, you want to hide the superadmin only or you want to hide all staff members except the superadmin?

Yeah only the Super Admin. The rest of the Admins and Moderators I want to be shown.<

Change the M_LEVEL<2 I added above to MEMBER_ID<>"&intAdminMemberID&".

Again you always have the answers and I thought that would be a tricky one lol<

Note that the superadmin will stil ahow up for other admins only when viewing the full list of members and for anyone who happens to search for a string that matches your username.

Yeah thats ok I don't mind having the other admins see it. I just don't want all their forum members to see it. Thanks Shaggy for you help<
