ok. thanks. but...um. as i somewhat mentioned before, it doesn't work.
it WILL take it off, but it takes it off for ALL members too.
no matter where i put it. it never makes it show up for members, and not show up for non-members.
so i decided to do some template searching based on those tags. and no tag has ever existed like that before.
so i thought i'd examine the navbar template cause that's a good example of <if> tags that work and differ for members/non-members.
and i found out the correct code is actually:
Code:
<if condition="$show['member']">
so i'm using that now, and it worked PERFECTLY.
i don't know where you guys got
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']">
but it dind't work. but thansk anyway. if it wasn't for that. i would have never found it.
i did a template search for every instance of (<if condition=") it could find. and $show is the only one used for member/non-member diffrences.
thanks to everyone who helped. really appreciate it. most likely just a simple mistake of incorrect code give. it's ok. i forgive ya.

maybe it works for you guys and i have rotten luck. idk. maybe i'm an idiot and didn't put it in just the right spot. idk. but either way, i'm thankful and you guys are great.
