Put the cookie checker wherever you want to mark off the stuff that can't be seen without a cookie...
You have it set so if they have a cookie they can get in... kind of insecure... are you checking against a DB or anything???
On another note:
How do I get around Vbulletin parsing URLs in my posts? I checked twice on preview to see if it did that and it wouldn't remove the [url] either time
yes i do...and its not really supposed to be "secure"...i have a DB of peeps that are registered, but its a free site. just to count my users and track 'em a wee bit. and i know if i needed/wanted it to be "secure" i could use sessions...but, #1- i dont think i can do it now at my skill level and #2- why overdo it? most people on this site barely understand html, let alone edit a cookie.

if you click the [post reply] button rather than using the form at the bottom of the thread, you can uncheck the "Automatically parse URLs" option. or, i think you can edit your post and uncheck it.

Unchecking the auto-parse won't remove any url tags, it simply wont add anymore. You'll have to uncheck the box, then remove any url tags that are already in there.

Looks like vBulletin is parsing the URL inside the PHP tags. Here's how it should be...
<?phpheader(\"Location: http://www.yourwebsite.com/\");
?>
