Thanks for the update again!

Time for a real stupid question on my part. How does this improve upon the setting that's already in the control panel that turns off who's online by usergroup?

1. The setting you mentioned is just for the online.php script (see below). This product does not improve this setting.
2. This product here is for selecting the guest view of who's online on forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread.

Reported locations do take forum permissions into consideration. For example, if a user in the online list is viewing a forum that the current logged in user doesn't have access to, then online.php will only report that they are viewing a forum and not give the name of the forum.

Who's online must be enabled in your vBulletin options for this permission to have any effect. Additionally, there are several Who's online settings on that page in your vBulletin options.

The WOL box on Forumhome still shows up for Guests, even if they don't have permission to view WOL.
Though I wonder if it really gives such a huge performance boost, as it already doesn't show up for spiders.

great hack installed did not notice any performance change but it did what i expected good job:banana:

Thank you ThorstenA

Install:D

Ah. I always just used conditionals to block it, and never really considered the performance impact it might have because the list is still calculated.

I guess this would be worth pursuing if you were trying to squeeze performance out of a shared server.

I have not installed it, otherwise I would have clicked install ;)
