XF 1.2 Hide all media for guests

[Jens1986]

Hi,

I installed XF today, and I love it. However, there is one thing I cant find in the ACP:
I dont want guests to see any media in posts. All I can do is to block the attachments, but the thumbnails still show up. What I really would like is the thumbnails to be replaced by a custom thumbnail.

Thumbnails might look interesting ... might encourage them to sign up for a better look.

I bet that is accomplishable, but would likely need a code tweak or addon.

One of these 3 should fit your needs

Google negative affect is that anything Google has already found, it will be unable to find again. So you may take a small hit at first, but it should recover quickly after as Google will just assume your site has changed. Expect to see Google bots on your site to "make up" for what has changed.

Have a look at my mod here for hiding the videos.

Maybe that might help ?

Problem is that I run a forum for ppl with hair loss, so the fact that their thumbnails can be seen by everyone might be a problem! I will take a look at your links, Thanks!

Interesting example.
People probably would appreciate the privacy.
