I thought so, too, but it still showed the visitor messaging in the profile until I disabled it in each of the usergroups. There was no option to disable it anywhere in the settings. It would have made it easier if there was.

I have a question about the delete user link you posted, will it come up with a box to make sure you want to delete it before it deletes it?

Good. I didn't want to test it until I was sure. Also, I tried to use {vb:raw admincpdir} for the admin directory name for those that have their admincp directory renamed, but it doesn't seem to work there.

No, since the admincpdir variable is not pre-registered in the MEMBERINFO template. I added a plugin to the member_start hook that assigns it and pre-registers it and then it works.

Heheh, I was actually in the middle of doing that. :) I'm just getting sleepy and I'm apparently not writing my syntax correctly.

Add this to the member_start hook and you can use the admincp variable:

Code:

$admincpdir = $vbulletin->config['Misc']['admincpdir'];



vB_Template::preRegister('MEMBERINFO', array('admincpdir' => $admincpdir));

<a href="admincp/user.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=remove&amp;u={vb:raw userinfo.userid}" class="textcontrol imagecontrol"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/cross_red.png" alt="Delete User Profile" /></a>



                                <a href="moderator.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=useroptions&amp;u={vb:raw userinfo.userid}" class="textcontrol imagecontrol"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/edit_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit_user_profile}" /></a>

                                </vb:if>

Also, add this image to your images/misc directory. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/12/29.png

Matter of preference, really. I'm not concerned about Search Engines, myself. It's the links themselves I don't want. Particularly when all of it is just scams, consumer traps, malware or porn. I don't want my users finding their way there just from perusing a new user's profile.

still does not work.

and while adding this, someone signed up just to drop their link in...

how nice of them...

I think this is too much trouble anyway...

I need a mod that can control the use of profile sig usage
lets say until they reach some post limit....

Thanks for the tip Digital Jedi. This is one weakness the spammers have found in our armour.

We need a feature by which spammers cannot post links in their profiles without a minimum number of posts.
