Enjoy this fine update.


Guests always seen hidden links, if this addon activated. You can't exclude guests and include group ids. Non-excluded Forums are depend by the made options in vbulletins-options.


You'll find different versions in the archive. "product-Hide_Links_From_Guest_v132_36x_english.xml" is the newest one.
36x in filename means, product for vBulletin 3.6.x only, not downward-compatibly
354 in filename means, product for vBulletin 3.5.4.

This Addon works fine with the "Post Replacement" addon from Larrysw.
You need only to change the "Execution Order" from 5 to 4 in "Plugin Manager" -> Guests will not see links in posts (Hook: postbit_display_complete)

For german members of vBulletin, please click here for install. Thx


Have Fun

Regards, Stoebi

There is an alternative hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=105160

It is even able to hide "code" from guests like on vbulleting.org, which this hack is not able.
But is not able to hide links also in "Show Printable Version" of thread like current one do.

I am combining them on my 3.8.2 without problems.

thanks for this nice hack, working good with 3.8.2

I've had this mod installed for a while now on all guests and it works great. thank you!

I'd like to hide links from all guests, and all members of a particular group to one specific forum. I've looked around the options and don't see how to do it, but the notes indicate I can do each of these. And if possible, by rank would be better than usergroup! Are any of these possible?

thank you

I have downloaded this version and it works like a charm. Thank you. BTW if it hides from customers means it also hides from spiders also? Is that good or bad? I am thinking if those are external links, they should be OK right. Where as if they are referring to internal links, it is not good. Please give me your opinions..
