Awesome!!
The blind guy clicks installed..
After reading http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=255798 I knew you would make it.

I too get hit with the spammers joining just to add a home page link, a sig with links & thier ICQ Number.
Installed, tested & working on 3.8.4
Thank you.

ok, how about one for required post count before being able to add a signature?

[BirdOPrey5]

You can easily hide a signature via a quick template edit-

Edit your postbit or postbit_legacy template

Find the code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace it with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

That won't show signatures of anyone with 10 or fewer posts...

But now I suspect you mean to disable them from even making a signature... I'll play around with this and see if I can add it to a future version of this mod or a separate release... will post here either way.

[blind-eddie]

You suspect correctly. Thank you...Sorry to hijack your thread over other topic.

Definitely a good suggestions on the signature. I am definitely adding this right now to ALL my forums.

If members have already posted a URL in their homepage profile, then this add-on is installed, and then the member doesn't meet the criteria, will the URL be removed?

[BirdOPrey5]

No it won't remove it until/unless they update their profile. If they update their profile it will get removed.

I would like this also!

I have this installed. Somehow....a member is still able to add his home page without making any posts.

The hack appears to work correctly when I try it.

[BirdOPrey5]

Is it possible they put it in before you installed the mod? It won't delete ones already there unless they update their profile.

This has been happening since I installed the modification.....but its only one person. It happened again today. This person is a spammer, who uses multiple email address and ip's that have been showing up on stopforumspam.com.

I just checked a username I registered a month ago to test this with, and your hack is working properly. Some how, and I am not sure how.....but they are doing it. Something I have noticed.....They register, leave, and come back about an hour or so later, and I believe this is when they make the change.

I am beginning to think they are doing it another way. I am running vb3.8.2, because I did not want to do the upgrade. Some of the hacks I am using will not work the newest version of vb3.8.7. I may break down and do the upgrade anyways. Unfortunately, this time of year is when my website is the busiest.

Thanks again!

I suppose they could be using some type of hacking tool to edit the code being submitted via the form element and bypassing the mod. Unfortunately I can't think of much of a way to prevent that at the moment.
