Making the admin account invisible does not remove it from the member list. This is a security issue. Ideally, you would want to be able to restrict, by ip address, where the admin account can log in, but telling the world what the login name is really presents a security risk. They easily have half of the login credentials. Since most forum operators will not use SSL, it would be extremely easy for an attacker to obtain admin login credentials.

I understand how the "custom tags" work. What I am hoping to avoid is exactly what your custom tag does. There is easily enough room in that section to display the three lines wihout the scroll bar. If the size of that field is increased to the size of the avitar picture limit, then you would only get the scroll bar if you try to use something larger than the avitar picture.

Many other forum packages allow you to manually set your (what FUD Forum calls) "Status:" It would be cool to either have an administrator override for this and/or a checkbox that allows the user to manually set it themselves.

Sorry for not explaining that adequately in the first place. I hope these make more sense now.
