Hello,

I want to ask: How to disable the "whoposted"-link for guests in vBulletin 3.8.5?
I think, it isn't really useful and not very good for seo...

This code I want to change:

<if condition="$show['threadmoved']">-<else /><a href="misc.php?do=whoposted&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" onclick="who($thread[threadid]); return false;">$thread[replycount]</a></if>


I would be glad to here from you.

regards, Jakob

If you just add rel="nofollow" to the link code search engines won't follow it so that should clear up your SEO concerns, not that I think they are valid anyway...

<if condition="$show['threadmoved']">-<else /><a href="misc.php?do=whoposted&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" rel="nofollow" onclick="who($thread[threadid]); return false;">$thread[replycount]</a></if>

Hey BirdOPrey5,
okay, thank you! So I will use "nofollow".

I'm not sure, if its no use. Because, some people suggest that.
However, we'll see... ;)
