Mini Mods - Hide Version Number. Updated with hiding the version everywhere automatically.

This is a small hack that it will allow you to turn off the public display of the version number of your vBulletin forum. You can enable and disable it at the Acp-Options-Forums Home Page Options.

I know that it can be easily done by changing the language phrase but this way is handier in my opinion.

Updated: With hiding the version in the templates automatically with thanks to Boofo.

Update again. Now it hides the version at the archives as well and therefore the version is hidden everywhere.

Is this allowed by IB? If yes, you should remove it from the Page's Source as well, if possible.

I am not sure I know what you mean if it is allowed by IB? Did you mean if vb allows it? if so, then yes. You are allowed to remove the version number.

You don't hide the version number from the js files.

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=3612"></script>

What is the + side of having this?

[borbole]

It helps a bit on avoiding being targeted by the hackers that hunt for version vulnerabilities by googling for them and hacking forums at random.
