removing version number

[Robert Fogt]

I found and changed the version number which is printed at the bottom of every page. For security reasons it slows down hackers looking for a specific bugged version in Google search.

But then I noticed in the source of every single page is:
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.6.8" />

How can I remove or change that?

Id sure like to know too, I understand that Jelsoft wants to be credited for their work in developing Vbulletin, but I think to have Vbulletin plastered all over everything is a bit rediculous if you ask me!!! ...Especially if you have purchased the branding free option.

Im not sure if it's allowed but it is in the "headinclude" template

I removed the following from the template and that removed the version number from the "View Source" data.

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

Thank you for the information, Appreciate it.

You must be doing something wrong then, because it works find for me.
