Lesane, you da man!!

Thanks so much for this help. I'll test this out on my test forum tonite. In the spirit of your avatar, I'm sure everything will be "Kool Mo' D"! :D

Lesane, this is an excellent hack.

I just wanted to know if it would be possible to update this for vB3?
I sure hope so, thanks!

Has anyone ported over the code to/for vB 3.0.1 for this useful bit of a hack? This is assuming that the code above is for 2.3.2.

If you can find it under the 3.x hack section, the answer to your question is yes. :)

Syl...

Not everyone who ports over the code for their own personal board releases it here at vb.org.

So again, has anyone used this hack and customized it for vB3?
Unfortunately, it looks as if Lesane is no longer here to offer his excellent help. :(

According to a personal email from Lesane, he has been banned from this site, vb.org and will not be able to post here ever. I will remain in contact and possibly post his responses as I get them. I hope this helps you understand his delay in responding. Best wishes.

WHAT HAPPENED???

nice work guys this is a very good hack and ill be using it on babesandstuff .. that way the forums can be spidered and images wont show to non registered users .

Actually, you can easily block spiders from your entire images folder (or any other folder for that matter) by properly editing your Robots.txt file at the root of your directory.

But this hack is great for sites that have many many guest viewers.

WE NEED THIS HACK FOR VB3!!! :D

Anyone??

I'd love to see this for 3.0.8 (OR 3.5, Ill be scooting on over soon) - I have a similar hack working, but it does not affect thumbnails. Which kind of defeats the purpose, since I have all images thumbnailed. When a guest clicks the (viewable) thubnail, they get the full size image. The only thing that gets blocked is sigs!
