Mini Mods - Password Forums all Users

Password Forums all Users (vBulletin 3.6x)

/* --------------------------------------------------
What this will do:
vBulletin's current forum password layout allows Administors , Super Mods, Mods (of forum) to by pass any password placed on a forum. This stops that little bypass by making all users no matter the usergroup be prompted to enter the forum password.

Once you log in to the forum with it's password you can go in and out of the forum as long as the cookie session does not expire.

Default Install of VB allows:
Administrator = can see all do all - passwords on forum are useless.
Super Mod = can see all do all - passwords on forum are useless.
Forum Mod = can see all do all - passwords on forum are useless on the forums they mod.

History / Story:
It fits my needs. I host forums for on-line gammers that wish to have a password protected forum.

I have Admins and Super Mods (multi-clan mixture) that help run the forums.

I also have an issue telling someone that they have a privet area that requires a password, and it not be true.

Hello Zachariah

I performed the change as per your textfile and now I cannot get into the forums or admincp

here is the error showing

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /mnt/w0512/d17/s12/b026543c/www/vbforums/includes/functions.php
Line: 5078

Is there a solution for this ?
