    Getting rid of avatars and sigs in one forum section

    I have a section where news stories are posted on my forum, is there a way I could disable avatars and sigs in that section? Or even just with the first poster (who would be the person posting the news.)

    Create a new style:

    Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Add New Style

    Remove avatars and sigs from the postbit in that style.

    Now force that one forum to use that style:

    Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Custom Style for this Forum

      You'll also want to set 'Override Users' Style Choice' to Yes for that forum.

      Let me know if you need further instructions on removing those parts of the postbit template.

            It's either the postbit or postbit_legacy template depending upon which one your forum uses.

                Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Postbit Templates -> postbit or postbit_legacy (depending on which layout you are using)

                  In the postbit template, remove these pieces of code:
                  Code:
                  <if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>
                  Code:
                          <if condition="$post['signature']">
                          <!-- sig -->
                              <div>
                                  __________________<br />
                                  $post[signature]
                              </div>
                          <!-- / sig -->
                          </if>
                  Best Regards
