All i can tell you is that it will be the Forumdisplay template that you need to edit. I tried messing around with it but im way to tired and im not as skilled as some of the other members here.

Btw, its regulatory to wait at least 12 hours before bumping your posts, preferably 24

Sorry about that. I know better, but I am in a pinch to get this done before the weekend, and this is one of the last complaints/bugs that needs fixed.

I have solved all other modification by searching through the forums, and so far I absolutly love the VB software. Much more managable then PHPbb, the support information alone found in the forums, is worth the $.

In AdminCP, there's a field for the default post icon that contains a path. Just blank that field out to remove it.

My boss would like the whole box gone. I was able to remove just the icon, but then the empty box is just there. I thought I found the code in FORUMDISPLAY

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
	<else />
		<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
	</if>

But when I remove that code, the whole thread format gets pooched. Not sure where to go next.

Thanks alot Jake, appreciate your help.

taking this 1 step further, is there a way to globally turn this feature off for all forums?

Run this query on your database (backup first):

UPDATE [color=green]forum[/color] SET [color=blue]options[/color] = [color=blue]options[/color] - [color=red]1024[/color] WHERE [color=blue]options[/color] & [color=red]1024[/color]

See this thread for an explanation.

After running this query, you need to rebuild your forum cache by running this counter:

Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Forum Information
