The way they've done the recent batch is as non-descript as possible, probably dodging element-removal based on identifiers, won't be straight forward AFAICS.

666828 2008-05-07 10:04:00 One more suggestion. I'm guessing you're looking to get the most mileage out of advertising without making waves with the vocal few obviously registered forum members. As I post this, guests to registered is 20:1, so wouldn't leaving ads on for only guests decrease PV by 5%? I know it's not as straight forward as that but I'm basically pushing "ads only for guests" or a way lighter serving of ads for registered folk at least. sal (67)

666830 2008-05-07 10:08:00 No problem for me. Decent forums and if someone is wanting to make money out of it then fine. The extra ad's don't suck up that much more bandwidth and on my crappy Xtra connection they don't seem to be making the page load any slower. All it means is one extra wizz of the scroll down scroller thingy. Deathwish (143)

Right on! I was thinking centered links in posts and sigs would be stripped but I'd say they're safe (I think their targets are "_blank" not "_new"...).

666833 2008-05-07 10:27:00 _new has been blocked for ages - the only things I added this time were an id, a class, and three divs.

Note that the _new rule only blocks _new links inside a container div that has been centered using the html align property. Vbulletin uses css to do this, not html, so the forum is safe.
