Conditional signatures VB4

Hi, I want to use the condition signatures option so that search engines do not read peoples signatures... That IS recommended, right?

I know this topic probably has been beaten to death, but I've searched and could not find a clear answer.

Can someone explain the benefits of this for me?

And also, this plugin does work for vB4, right?


Thanks, and sorry if this has been posted many times before.

Anyone?

Hello,

No, this plugin is not compatible with vb4. A new version is in the works and will be released likely after our next point release.

So, what can I do so that search engines do not crawl signatures?!

You can wrap the signature block in the postbit template in an simple if condition for $show="member"

Wait, would you be able to explain? What exactly do I put in? And will everyone still be able to see the signatures, other than crawlers I guess?

Guests (bots, not logged in) won't see whatever you wrap in
[code]
<vb:if condition="$show["member"]">

code bock to hide here

</vb:if>



look for $signature in the post bit area and if-out accordingly
