Is there a way to turn this function off? I have 6 Administrators on my board and I while I trust them all I am not comfortable that anyone can login as another member and view that member's Private Messages. I feel it's a complete invasion of privacy.

Help with this would be appreciated.

There aren't any options to enable or disable it. Your only possibility would be to edit the script that gives the link for it, so that it cannot be used.

Thanks for the quick response. Could you direct me on how I can edit the script and where exactly I can find it?

Is there a chance this option would be included in future updates?

If you don't plan to use this feature at all - an easy way to block it would be to edit the /admin/loginas.php script (make a backup first.

After this:
Code
   $user = $userob -&gt; authenticate();
   $html = new html;

Add this:
Code
$html -&gt; not_right("This feature is currently disabled.",$Cat);

That'll block it. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh and if you want to see it as a feature in the next generation UBB product, make sure you post it in the feature suggestion forum here so it's seen/logged/tracked. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
