[Board Optimization] Do not show who's online for guests · **Released**: 03-27-2006

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.

for me, the who's online thing only shows up in the forumhome

for the forumdisplay and showthread it's more like "who's browsing this forum/thread" right ?

installed it, gonna see if helps to speed up the forum and keep an eye on the new registrations if they drop or not

Just a stupid question...

what the diff. between this plug-in and the built-in forum permission option to hide Who's on-line for Guest/unlogged users ??

If you're going to add all that, might as well add search, and make it conditional on server load.

Agree, please add SEARCH too if you can. It would be nice if it would display instead a short message in color like "register to use this feature" or "you can't use this feature as you are not registered. Please register now". I guess it would increase sign ups... Text should be optional and with CMS.
