This file change will hide the "View Post" link from a viewer if the poster is on the viewers ignore list
Benefits ? : less work for Moderators and Administrators to clean up posts because if user A is ignoring user B, then theres no need for A to see the link and quickly click to view their post and may reply/retaliate to comments.
Currently in vB when user A ignores user B, in a thread user A can easily click the link "View Post" to see what user B has posted. ( see attachments )
This modification removes that link ( see attachment 2 )
If user B is ignored by user A, in LAST POST, user A will see user B name if s/he is LAST POSTER. But clicking link will take to thread but still no click to view post link ;)
Whats bad about the ignore users features of vB and this mod ?
when a user LOGS OUT he/she can read all comments ( if non members can view posts )

Instructions
BACKUP FILE, BACK UP, did I say BACK UP file showthread.php in case you want to revert back
Instruction continued: open showthread.php and find around line 1043 to 1045
$parsed_postcache = array('text' => '', 'images' => 1, 'skip' => false);
$postbits .= $postbit_obj->construct_postbit($post);
replace with $parsed_postcache = array('text' => '', 'images' => 1, 'skip' => false);
// $postbits .= $postbit_obj->construct_postbit($post);
// replaced below
//don't get postbit if ignored post
// start changes
if ($ignore[$post[userid]] AND $post['userid'] != 0) {
// do nothing
} else {
$postbits .= $postbit_obj->construct_postbit($post);
}
// end changes
SAVE FILE = DONE
reupload/FTP showthread.php back to your forum root overwriting
recap:
this basically replaces line 1045 $postbits .= $postbit_obj->construct_postbit($post);
with
if ($ignore[$post[userid]] AND $post['userid'] != 0) {
// do nothing
} else {
$postbits .= $postbit_obj->construct_postbit($post);
}
But I use the top instructions just so I can keep the original showthread.php code in tact by commenting it out with //
