vBSEO Conditional Signatures for vBulletin 3.5.x
Overview ============================ An issue all vBulletin admins must consider is the impact of member signatures on the search engine optimization of thread pages. Signatures add keywords to the page which typically contain links to external websites. This can reduce the density of keywords relevant to the thread topic, interrupt the flow of the discussion, and allow Google PageRank leak because of the outbound links. The affect on keyword density of the thread page is even more prominent when signatures are included with posts of minimum length (e.g. 1 or 2 sentences only). In fact, users often submit brief postings in order to promote the websites listed in their signatures only. With enough valuable content, any forum can generate revenue via Google Adsense or other programs. Therefore, vBulletin SEO issues must NOT be overlooked. A simple solution is to disable signatures within vB Admin CP. However, this is not recommended. Many of your forums valuable contributing members are encouraged to continue building your content because of the exposure their signature can receive. The "vBSEO Conditional Signatures" plugin provides a solution that enhances SEO for your thread pages without disabling signatures in vB Admin CP. What does it do? ============================

Click "Install" ============================ Please click "Install" to show your support for this script. Installation & Configuration ============================ Note: This plugin is for vBulletin versions 3.5.x only. To Install:
============================ Select Signature Action for Short Posts Select either 'Add rel=nofollow' or 'Remove Signature' to specify how signatures should be handled for posts that do NOT meet the Minimum Post Length (see option below). Adding rel=nofollow will instruct search engines to NOT crawl the links or pass PageRank. The 'Remove Signature' option will remove the signature entirely for short posts which will typically improve the keyword relevancy of the page in addition to conserving PageRank. Apply Conditional Signatures for Guests / Spiders Only Select "Yes" to apply signature modifications for guests (and spiders) only. Set Minimum Post Length (# of Words) Posts that do NOT meet the Minimum Post Length will have the selected Signature Action applied (see above). Set Minimum Post Count For posts authors who has posted less than the count specified, links in signatures will be either removed or rel="nofollow" added. Set Maximum Posts Per User Per Page For the authors who posted multiple messages per page, only the first specified count of posts will have a signature. Specify Excluded Users (IDs) Provide a comma-separated list of user IDs. Excluded users ALWAYS have their signature included without ANY changes. Specify Excluded User Groups (IDs) Provide a list of user group IDs separated by spaces. Users from excluded groups ALWAYS have their signature included without ANY changes.

Doesn't work for me on 3.7.0.
Actually, I don't think it ever worked before. I set the "Set Maximum Posts Per User Per Page" to 1. Yet, all the sigs are shown on all the posts of a user on a page. :down: |

Do you have "Signature Action" set to "Remove Signature"?

Can someone please verify if this plugin is 3.7.x compatible or not? Thank you

Do you get any issues running it on vB3.7?

Why would we take all of the time to install something, if we didn't know first that it was compatible? According to what you posted above (see quote) it is NOT compatible. Hence the question...

I struck out with using it on 3.7. I'm hoping someone looks at doing some modifications.
