Why all the 'off site' content within VB?

[Tim Wheatley]

I've been trying to setup and build an entire site using VB code to provide full intergration. But I've found a few times that when testing on my own pc using an installation of Apache/SQL/PHP on WinME, I get constant requests to connect to the internet for content.

Where is this coming from, and why?

One thing is the 'logo' image in the admin cp, there's code that is called within the img tag which calls outside content. Plus there's the 'you're using version xxx, latest available is xxx'

Is there any way to turn all this outside content OFF?

I realise one of these attempts I'm getting is probably a piracy check, but surely you realise someone who knows php (which I don't) can find these no problem - and remove them.

It's just that there's seems to be a connection attempts on pages I really didn't expect it, and it's always a connection to a vb site...

The admin CP has javascripts to check to see if a new version of vB is out. Also a piracy check as well is in-built. That's why.

You cannot turn that off but can delete these off from 2 files in admin folder. It is very easy, only 6 codes to delete, so far I know it s 6 different codes..

Edit: Delete important information so this post will be not delete =p

It's easily removed, but Jelsoft discourages that. Also, please do not post in here how to do it.

[Goldknight]

Yea, I m aware of that. I will not post the instruction at all. I just post the name of files but realize that I should not do that so I edit

both can be easily removed, this site is about hacking vb.. so HACK away..............
