show version only to logged admin

Hi, i was thinking if you could make that as default in the wacintaki, as a protection from vulnerabilites in older versions,  just thought of this cause once that happened with phpbb and the hackers searched for the boards as xx.x.x version and they could find which boards were vulnerable. Probably has never happened with wacintaki but i think of it as prevention smile

Re: show version only to logged admin

My feeling is, if anyone REALLY wants to hack your board, it doesn't matter if the version number shows or not.  You also wouldn't believe how many people don't know what version of the board they are using when they ask for help.  wink

Making a quick addition to the hacks file wouldn't be that difficult, though.
