    As I get into this, it would appear that the stock vBulletin page is awash with distractions that should be nixed out for guests and robots.

    threadbit
    Code:
    <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 1">
                <if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" id="thread_gotonew_$thread[realthreadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a></if>
    </if>

    What a minefield!

    I notice also that Google is messing with the expand/collapse buttons as seen on the FORUMHOME page.

    There is definitely more work to do here.

    Did you successfully accomplish this? If so, would you post how to do it? Thanks.

    We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? ;)

    You can simply edit the vBa Recent Threads module and select Show Last Post Info > No.

    Unfortunately, modifying the recent thread module settings via the ACP affects all accounts (both guests and members). I was not able to figure out how to disable the column for just guests.
    I'm using vbSEO for my epilepsy forum.

    There is one slight change in FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY


    Code:
    In template 'FORUMHOME':
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    FIND:
     
    <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
     
    REPLACE WITH:
     
    <!-- START REMOVE LAST POST FORUMHOME FOR GUESTS -->
    <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 1"><td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td></if>
    <!-- END REMOVE LAST POST FORUMHOME FOR GUESTS -->
     
    This should read
    FIND:
    <td class="thead">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
     
    REPLACE WITH:
    <td class="thead">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
    <!-- START REMOVE LAST POST FORUMHOME FOR GUESTS -->
    <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 1"><td class="thead">$vbphrase[last_post]</td></if>
    <!-- END REMOVE LAST POST FORUMHOME FOR GUESTS -->
