This template mod reduces bandwidth and load but enhances pagerank.
So what exactly does this do?
- completely removes 'last post' table for guests
- removes links for the reply counter in threadbit (who posted) for guests
A quick summary; to enhance pagerank you need
- Incoming links from other websites
- Incoming links from your homepage to main categories
- Incoming links from your categories to your articles and topics
- Linkback on all pages to your homepage
- Linkback on all pages to your main categories
- Descriptive, static URL's for content
- Descriptive, unique titles for all pages
- Limit outgoing links to other websites [limit, not stop]
- Limit the amount of links on every page
- Limit dynamic, rapidly changing links on every page
- Limit code [vs content]
This template mod does the bold. The feature 'Last Post' in vBulletin creates a lot of code, duplicate links to the same content and dynamic links. The less useless links and code pages contain, the more chance that high Pagerank will go through links.
See attachment for instructions (this also works for 3.6.8).

That first replace has an <else /> in there that doesn't belong. It would be better to use != and dump the else bit.
Edit: there are a few other edits that have this as well.
Nice idea.

That must mean you skipped a step. Try testing it first on your testboard and be sure to follow every step. Also this was made for a fresh template, so if you have other template changes it might not work.

I've getting more and more trouble with my users. Many of them don't login because they use the same computer with other people and so they just login from time to time.
The results for bandwith-reduction aren't that interesting for me. It's the optimization for search-engine which is interesting.
Can you tell me which templates I have to update for that? I would set back the other templates.
Here are all the templates, that have to be updated normally:
template 'FORUMHOME'
template 'forumhome_forumbit_level2_post'
template 'FORUMDISPLAY'
template 'threadbit'
template 'forumhome_forumbit_level1_post'
template 'search_results'
Thanks!
