    remove vbseo version number

    I realize the license says I am not allowed to alter the copyright notice, but what about removing the version number?

    As you are probably aware, removing the version number is common on a lot of sites so that if an exploit for version x is released then script kiddies can't employ Google to find sites to exploit.

    So is removing the version allowed? And if so, where is it done from?

    The other problem is that the file specified in that link does not exist in the newest version? Where can it be found?

    The file does exist, since it is the main vBSEO configuration file. Look again for config_vbseo.php in your vBulletin includes directory.
