Do not show who's online for guests
for vbulletin 3.5
Integrated in vbulletin 3.6
What does this product do?
This very easy to use product turns off who's online for guests on forumhome / forumdisplay / showthread and therefore dramaticely improves forum speed if you have lots of guests. Turning off who's online for gaining speed is suggested by eva2000 in vbulletin.com > server configuration forum. My forum was slow having 150 users browsing my forum, now it's running with more than 300 users online.

Where did you get this information from ? Couldn't find anything about it on vb.com.
They didn't mention it in their announcement forum. You can disable who's online for guests on vb 3.6 in admincp > settings > forumdisplay / showthread

Czesc,
that's very good news, thank you very much for posting this!
What about going into the ACP and disabling it for the Unregistered / Not Logged In group via User Manager?
It lets me click 'no' on "let this group view who's online".
So why is this MOD necessary? Am I missing something?
1. The setting you mentioned is just for the online.php script (see below). This product does not improve this setting.
2. This product here is for selecting the guest view of who's online on forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread.

Reported locations do take forum permissions into consideration. For example, if a user in the online list is viewing a forum that the current logged in user doesn't have access to, then online.php will only report that they are viewing a forum and not give the name of the forum.
Who's online must be enabled in your vBulletin options for this permission to have any effect. Additionally, there are several Who's online settings on that page in your vBulletin options.
Please note: This product is integrated in vbulletin 3.6. If you have vbulletin 3.6 installed, there's no need for installing this product.
