I'm having other websites link to individual posts on my forum. This is unsatisfactory to me because A) They don't get to see the actual layout of the forum and what we have to offer B) The Register link is hidden. This makes it very, very hard to get new members and is really only giving me people that look at this one post and then disappear.

I am wondering if there is an easy way to disable the links to individual posts. If so, how do I do it?

How would you disable links on other sites to your posts? If you don't like the links in your threads, you could unlink it so it is harder to get the url to. Just change this line (in postbit/postbit_legacy):
<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]"><strong>$post[postcount]</strong></a> &nbsp;</if>

To:
<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<strong>$post[postcount]</strong> &nbsp;</if>

But, like I said, you can't do anything about the links already out there on other sites.

Right. ;) I would like to remove them from future use. I'll give it a try. Thanks much. :)

I tried this and didn't see any changes.

Which postbit are you using on your site? Did you do this to both postbits? The code I wrote only make the post number in the upper right corner (#4, #5, etc) non-clickable. I'm not sure what else you would want done on your site regarding this issue.

I had put it in Postbit Legacy before (I'm a novice so I don't know what all that means or does), but this time I tried it in Postbit and it worked. Thanks.

I appreciate the help.

Postbit legacy is how you see the postbit sideways (hoizontally) and postbit_legacy is going down (similar to vb.org)

Haha I use legacy :P
