vBulletin Mods

I applied the 1.03 update but it still kills all of my signature images regardless of they are local or external.

See attached for an example.

I've got a fix worked out for some of the signature images which I'll have up shortly, though turning off verification for signatures should certainly stop the problem in the meantime; I've tested both uploaded signature pictures and remotely-hosted IMG tags this way, and both show up fine when the signature setting is set to "No."

Re-upload the latest externalredirect.php file; it has modified URL verification. :)

Hard to diagnose from afar (though let me know if turning off signature verification fixes the issue).

If you're comfortable with giving me temporary admin/FTP access via PM, I'd be glad to take a look. :)

Unfortunately, even with signature verification turned off, the issue persists. I have to disable the product to prevent the error.

I'll send you a PM shortly, thank you.

Not at all! Sorry to hear about the issues; I'll do what I can to pinpoint them, and I'll look forward to the PM. :)

This mod conflicts with Links and Download manager.
I am getting this weird error on various pages:

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

When I turn Two-Step links off, they dissappear.

Everything works fine now. It was the file edit that was not improperly done.

Thanks aspen0 .... great mod

installed and nominated :up:

Okay, to anyone having issues with images in signatures: it appears there's a conflict only when a user is using an upload signature picture and an externally-linked image at the same time. I'm looking into how best to work around this, but for those of you who allow both of these things and want to keep using the rest of the hack (for posts, comments, blogs, etc.), here's a quick fix:

Just update the "Remove external link on postbit signature" plugin in the "in the "postbit_display_start" hook location. Replace it with this:

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

Set signature verification to "No" and your signature images should be left alone, and you can use the rest of the hack's functionality for the time being.

I've yet to see how this would help at all with SEO
It's no different that adding a nofollow tag to external links IMO
Has anyone installed this and done nothing else and has seen positive results from it?

regards

I'm not sure if you read aspen's initial posts, but they explain the SEO benefits. They also explain why adding nofollow tags to external links doesn't work the way it used to.

Please see here:

At least on Google for sure, nofollow no longer provides any SEO benefit. Zip zero zilch.

Hello thank you for mod. But i cant make it work for me. I have done all file mods, put php file in forum root, installed product. But no effect :(. I have vbseo installed maybe that's the problem. Can you help me please with some advice?

The fix you posted does indeed work, but I only allow my users to use an upload signature and it happens to me, as well. It only happens on signatures that have an image that is linked. At least, as far as I can tell. This signature triggered the issue:

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

Now, what I did find was that... in the user's profile, in the "About Me" section, it works perfectly. But in showthread, it just displays the sigpic tags. HTH.

There may be a conflict with VBseo. You could have also done the file edits incorrectly. Please doublecheck your work, they can be confusing, for instance one edit needs to go just inside a closing } in a line of 3 } and it can be easy to misread it and put it after all three, instead of after just the first two.
