Hi,

As registered users can see the usernames of any other users (especially of a 'webmaster' or 'admin' level), this concerned me a bit, as I would prefer to keep any admin/webmaster usernames completely secure and confidential.

Couldn't see an option to only let registered users see "non webmaster" type users, I disabled the login box for annonymous users.

Of course, now that I have logged out, I can't get back in (oops).

1. Is there a backdoor method ?

2. I can easily mod the db column, if I know hich one to change.

Thanks,

Peter

to login, go to www.yoursite.com/user.php

Replacing yoursite.com with your actual domain of course :)

Hi,

Thanks, for some reason, it wouldn't let me in until I did the "I forgot my password, resend it pls" bit, and then when I did login, XOOPS thought it was the first time the 'admin' had logged in, and I see the settings for some things have now all been cleared.

I'll have to work out a method to stop people from registering in the interim, but allow logins to registered users (only me for now).

Thanks for your help,

Peter
