You can do that by adding some java to put your own message in the status bar, Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

Yes i seen those butyou have to add a piece of code to each link on your site
a href="http://whateverhere.com" onMouseover="return hidestatus()">linkname</a>

that would be a whole lot of adding to each link.

? You only add one bit of java, and it will block people seeing any link url in the status bar. You do not need to add anything to the links.

I tried to add the code that I use to hide the status but I got BANNED Shocked

by Sentinel during the post preview!

Anyways, a couple of proxies later, I can only point you to Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! where I answered a similar question. If that post is not clear enough, please feel free to PM me.

I don't want to try to post the code again lest I get banned here again! Very Happy

I found this bit of script to be quite effective (remove the space in the word scri pt). This hides url's from showing in the status bar

Code:

<scri pt>





//Hide status bar msg II script- by javascriptkit.com


//Visit JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com) for script


//Credit must stay intact for use





function hidestatus(){


window.status=''


return true


}





if (document.layers)


document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)





document.onmouseover=hidestatus


document.onmouseout=hidestatus


</scri pt>

Where exactly do we add this Code pls ?
What if a theme.php is encrypted and u can't decrypt it ?

Place it in includes/javascript.php. However, this will hide ALL status bar links. But it's still very easy to get the link by just right clicking over the link and selecting properties or copy link or whatever.

I'm not sure how i need to add that code in the javascript.php file,
i've added the code as is exept for the scr~ipt statement, i've removed the blank space in it.
I'm sure thats not the way to do it and i must add a few more code to it as when i do it like that it just makes my internet browser goes blank when i try to reach my site after adding this code.
God i'm a noob Sad

but what a pleasure to learn Very Happy
