Do you mean being able to switch to guest view quickly without having to log out of the admincp?

If so: because of vBulletin security precautions there is currently no easy way of doing this. What you could try is adding a plugin to the forumhome hook where you set the $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] variable to "0" when its infact 7111 (yours :p), and $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] to 1 with a simple conditional.

This wouldn't do exactly what you want, but its the closest you can get to a guest view without actually logging out.

Really. Maybe adding a new user, putting them under that usergroup and switching between them?

Well, that would work if you had 2 pcs. If you set him to user, he can no longer log into the admincp/etc. so you'll need to login as yourself and set him as admin.. so I guess it kinda defies the point?

Fastest way:, I just make a special account as guest and test it in another browser

Making a hack for it might lead to ending up without access to the admincp
