VBulliten has nothing to do with hacks, though. They don't have a header hack, or else it would be pre-implemented in our fora. Hacks are written by independant sources. (read: Board owners.)

Eh, that's not what I really meant, but I didn't make myself clear. There has to be some bit of code that they use to allow for the non-viewing of signatures, no? I'd be surprised if we couldn't find some way to make that code apply for headers as well. We'd need the code for that, though, before we could see whether we'd be able to apply it.
Of course, I know nothing about how vBulletin works, so my suggestion might be impossible. But it's just a thought. If you can give me some tangible reason why we couldn't apply their signature code to headers, then I'll shut up.
I like my green too much to part with it now, however. *keeps using it in his posts*

All the code of the VBB is freely availible to us. We'd just have to search through the thousand lines of code and find everything that makes the sig thing work. Then copy and modify it to make it work for whatever we want to implement. And hope to God we don't forget anything or make any mistakes. Anything is possible, but there're always risks. Risks to the MB probably aren't worth taking except for things we know very very well how to do, or things that are essential. Just my opinion.
I guess you're right, Unne. They ought to have at least mapped out where we can find the code, though, and I'm sure we could find it *somewhere.*
If someone on staff runs a really small message board or something, they could try implementing it on that before we decide to do the same thing on EoFF.

I pretty much agree with Unne too. If we could be able to test this out on a smaller message board or so that someone may have abandoned or that we could use could be helpful, but we'd still need to find out the code. I think we should be catious on taking the risks, too as if we were ever able to figure out a code for this, we'd definitely need to do some testing.
There's also the possibility that some other forum may have already figured out a similar hack, in which case we could just ask them to let us pilfer from them. I wonder if there's a forum about vBulletin forums. *has no life*

Well, I'm sure there may be a site like that, that is probably if it would be a site maybe bigger than EoFF and using vBulletin, or maybe some kind of vBulletin hack site, if any, but I'm not too sure they may be one of those.
Or we could leave the VBB like it is.

I don't at all think that this is something worth screwing around with the fora for, at least until Bleys gets back, because he's the one that sits and writes hacks.

Britt, I apologise, as I didn't even see your earlier edit until this morning. Silly me. Anyway, yes, what you said there makes perfect sense. If I find a forum about vBulletin forums, though, I'll let you all know.

It's all good.
*Agrees also* I wonder if Bleys would actually be willing to help out with a hack for the headers, or if he would be for or against it.
OOC: I actually saw that Bleys was online on AIM yesterday, but I never got a chance to speak to him, as I was only in for a few minutes at every point he was online. We'll see.
And Britty: Don't worry. It's all good.
