If you wanted to do that then you would modify the Display_Readers_View_User template. What you suggested before will work just as well.

Thanks Paul ...

I'll add the meta tag to the Display_Readers_View_User template as well and see what happens ... :up:

When I originally installed the "Who Has Read a Thread" mod earlier this year, I set the ability to use it to moderators ONLY, besides the original thread creator. When Google CSE shows a search, it does show a link to the screen (see attached pic for example of a link title List of Threads Viewed by : alarsen303) which appears in Google's CSE to every member who views the search, regardless of whether they are in the mod's AdminCP setup or not.

If anyone who is not a moderator clicks on that link, they get the standard vBulletin message that they are "not allowed", as per the mod's setup options in the AdminCp.

However, if anyone uses Google's Web Cache search, as shown in the pic in the last post, anyone on the Internet can view the mod's screen, The example pic I posted earlier was posted and sent into us from a regular registered member (not a moderator) who wasn't able to see the screen directly, but was able to get at it through Google's Web Cache search.

I'm not sure what I'm missing and I apologize if I don't understand what you're saying, but it appears that all the user screens are accessible using Google Web Cache search, regardless of the AdminCP settings or when they were added?

Thanks for your support.. it is appreciated ... :up:
