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.

cool. works perfect for my site, now their is more speed!
Same for me. You can also just turn off who's online for guests on forumdisplay and showthread, so most unregistered users even do not notice that who's online is not available.
hmm, I dont get it. You can just turn off guests in the VB Options and only have it show members. So this mod seems useless, unless of course I am missing something here.

1. The setting you mentioned is just for the online.php script (see below).
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.
