Hide Version Number.
Mod Version: 1.00, by borbole

This is a small hack that it will allow you to turn off the public display of the version number of your vBulletin forum. You can enable and disable it at the Acp-Options-Forums Home Page Options.

I know that it can be easily done by changing the language phrase but this way is handier in my opinion.

Note: This mod it will hide the version at the footer only. It is meant to add some kind of security for ex, when hackers google for outdated version and hack forums at random.

To remove the version from showing when viewing the page source, do the following edits to the headinclude template

Find the following code:

HTML Code:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $vboptions[templateversion]" />

and change it to:

HTML Code:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin" />
