Hello,

I need to create some demonstration accounts for my site but anytime i do, they show up as new users in my statistics of the forum. How can i prevent them from apprearing as forum members or hide them from stats.

Thank You

Hey Mildred,

I'm going to need confirmation here, but I'm fairly sure that a forum user is a forum user, and can't be excluded in the way you want them to be, although maybe this topic would be useful?

I don't recall any previous request to allow for 'hidden' new members and sorry - I do not think there is any current mechanism that would help there, I think, at this point in time the best suggestion is simply to remove the display of new members but that's is a bit of a sledgehammer/nut idea...

users can also 'hide' their online status... that is, they will not show up as online...  but anything they do will still show up in the stats...
