who is viewing

I want to disable this "xxx are viewing" that appears in every forums in the forumhome, how do I do that?

[Jake Bunce]

Both the x viewing feature and Currently Active Users feature are controlled by this setting:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Home Page Options -> Display Logged in Users?

If you want to disable just the x viewing feature then you can remove that code from the templates:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Home Templates -> forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Remove the red code:

<tbody>
	<tr align="center">
		<td class="alt1Active" colspan="2" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">
		
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
			<td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>
			<td>
			<div>
				<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
				[color=red]<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>[/color]
			</div>
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"><div class="smallfont"><strong><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></strong></div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
			</td>
		</tr>
		</table>
		
		</td>
		<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
		<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
		<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
		<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
		<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>
		</if>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody>
	$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>

Make a similar change to the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template.

I did the changes in the templates to not see "x are browsing" but I still see them

[Jake Bunce]

Did you edit the same style you are viewing? Did you make the same change to the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template?

I would need to take a look. If you send me a private message with your forum URL and an admin login then I can look into this.

It appears your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template is modified in such a way so there are two instances of the x viewing code to remove. I removed the second instance. Now it's working.
