Edit includes/class_bbcode.php to prevent links from showing to guests?

[Razasharp]

Is it possible to edit includes/class_bbcode.php and to add a conditional so that the URL tag (i.e all links posted) only shows for logged in users?

Or does post caching interfere with it?

I've used that hack before, but for some reason it really slowed down my forum - soon as I uninstalled it, the board went back to normal!

All I need is a very simple solution that does not add load to the server.

Most likely, it slowed down because posts were not cached - and they can't be, otherwise, guests could possibly see the code even if they are guests.
