How do I delete the "Moderator" space from the forum page?

[Marcel Lee]

I don't have any moderators on my board, so I want to erase the "Moderators" section, so that "Forum", "Posts", "Threads" and "Last Post" goes straight across when looking at the main page of the vb.

How do I do that?

Please be very specific. I'm new at this.

Thank you.

You'll need to edit a couple of templates.
Admin CP --> Templates --> Modify --> [expandlist]

Forum Home Page Templates [expand] --> forumhome

Remove the following code:

<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="20%"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>

Forum Home Page Templates --> forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Remove the following code:

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>

Forum Home Page Templates --> forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Remove the following code:

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>

Good Luck!

I prefer to comment out the code rather than remove it so you can always refer back if you need it. Just put <!-- and --> after the code you want to remove. It makes it hidden, the same effect as removing it.

yes that would be a good thing to do

unless your one of those bandwith freaks and doesnt want to waist that .00000002 bit of band

but if you deleate it and need it later you would have to make a new template set and search through the templates for the code.

not fun sometimes.

You can still 'view original' to get the code back, right? Just cut/paste into your modified template.

I did this, and get the following result (though the mods column is gone, lol)
