It is by design, rightly or wrongly, that Visitor Messages page is visible to the public. vBulletin staff says:
A workaround is to hide the content of the page is via CSS. This is not a foolproof solution but good enough for average users.
Add this in css_additional template in AdminCP or via Sitebuilder > Style > CSS Editor.
Change the numbers in red accordingly based on what you use in your forum.
Right click on any page, then click "Inspect" or equivalent. Then in the HTML source, look for the <body> tag and see pageXX in the class attribute. Use that to replace page34 in the above code.
Right click on any empty space in the Visitor Messages content. Find the <div> tag with class of "b-module". Find its id with the format of widget_XX. Use that to replace widget_12 in the above code.
See sample screenshot below:
See the Visitors Messages page on this site for the actual demo.
Enjoy!
