This file change will hide the "View Post" link from a viewer if the poster is on the viewers ignore list
Benefits ? : less work for Moderators and Administrators to clean up posts because if user A is ignoring user B, then theres no need for A to see the link and quickly click to view their post and may reply/retaliate to comments.
Currently in vB when user A ignores user B, in a thread user A can easily click the link "View Post" to see what user B has posted. ( see attachments )
This modification removes that link ( see attachment 2 )
If user B is ignored by user A, in LAST POST, user A will see user B name if s/he is LAST POSTER. But clicking link will take to thread but still no click to view post link
Whats bad about the ignore users features of vB and this mod ?
when a user LOGS OUT he/she can read all comments ( if non members can view posts )
