    Well here is a thought....

    Instead of removing such a useful (to me) addition to vBulletin for all members AND guests...

    Why not just remove that option for guests only since that is all Search Engines see.

    That way I can keep my thread previews and not have them impact my search engine ranking

    That should be easy to do with a template conditional around the title parameter of the anchor tag.

    In the threadbit template find:

    title="$thread[preview]"

    Replace it with:

    <if condition="$bbuserinfo[posts]>0">title="$thread[preview]"</if>

    Hmm I'm thinking of doing this as well, I've had the preview turned off from the start but I can see how it could be beneficial.

    Clarification: Since vB provides the ability to disable this feature completely, we've added this feature as a 'guest only' disable in 2.4.0 - Thanks for the feature request!
