Its a worth while modification if you need it for the reason the maker listed but I cant really see that a lot of boards would have this problem,

Good luck all the same I hope it can be of some use ?

Maybe you have a Caprice board and dont want members looking for the super model Caprice, Just the car Caprice lol.. I quess this hack could be of use.

man never heard anyone get mad over traffic lol.

I my self have a lot of 0 posters but when i check their activity they do not post but they visit often. So what I have done is when i see their username on the whos online i send them a nice little pm and 9 out of 10 times they post something. And if they do i write back and say thanks.

The reason is a pity, Inuyasha is great anime, been watching it since it was airing in Japan. Rumiko is a genius, and everything that gets put on Cartoon Network ends up getting ruined =(

BTW, registered on your forums!

I just noticed an error in the code, which could potentially, depending on your forum version, render this hack unfunctional.

So, in this area of functions.php:
PHP Code:

function checkipban() {
  
// checkes to see if the current ip address is banned
  
global $DB_site,$bbuserinfo,$enablebanning,$banip,$webmasteremail,$session,$HTTP_SERVER_VARS,$bbtitle

Make sure in the global list that $bbuserinfo exists!

The text file has been updated.

its a good hack but not for me as i see no reason installing when i worked to hard getting the traffic i have a site which is about 8 weeks old and so far i think google and yahoo helped my site to get the traffic and rank from 3 million to about 320,442 and its climbing by the day i get quilty traffic from searches and may odd bad one but thats life. another reason i get about 70 regiseration from google every day cant afford to loose that.

wow terrific idea and hack!!

I have no use for it right now, but still wanted to give you props. =)

Sinzar 06-23-2003 07:45 PM

Yeah, I get 5000-6000 uniques a day from search engines, mostly google...but it's still a good hack if someone would choose to use it.

If you don't wanna make the guest feel unwanted by your ban, and to make things seem more like their computer is messed up, or the site was down, I highly recommend installing the 404-ban error method, page not found, instead of using vBulletin's ban.

It's a great method of ban anyway, in general.

In functions.php, just find every occurence of:
PHP Code:

eval("standarderror(\"" gettemplate("error_banip") ."\");"); 

And replace it with:
PHP Code:

header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
   
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
   exit; 

This will output the 404 message relative to their browser, also. (unless the server has its own) ;)

Great work velocd, but I am sure I am glad if any google bot visits my site. Maybe some wrongly visiters still have an interst :)

Sounds like you are having some personal problems.
