SOLVED: Remove or disable the "forum permissions" text block

[brenwa]

I do not want this displaying on the bottom of the forums

I have searched and found one how to for this but it was from 2008 and did not work

Im finding it impossible to find any other answers because of the massive amount of how to use/manage user permissions posts

Any help would be appreciated
thank you

Assuming you're using prosilver:

viewforum_body.html >>>>>>>>>> backup the original so that you can easily restore it
lines 310 to and including 315

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_IS_POSTABLE and rules|length -->
	<div class="stat-block permissions">
		<h3>{L_FORUM_PERMISSIONS}</h3>
		<p><!-- BEGIN rules -->{rules.RULE}<br /><!-- END rules --></p>
	</div>
<!-- ENDIF -->

comment those lines (rather than removing them).

Then clear board and browser cache. (Take note you'll have to redo the edits with each update)

To be honest I wouldn't remove/comment those those lines as they provide a quick overview of what a user can do (assuming you created a testuser for each group).

Thank you that worked great.

I do appreciate your mention of how handy it is, but Im dealing with a mostly older crowd and many are about a 3 out of 10 when it comes to tech, and as far as those folks go its pretty useless, its just visual clutter. lol.... they dont read or or google..just click help.

This was on my to-do list. That list really serves no purpose. If someone can't post, there won't be a "New Post" button. If they can't reply, no "Post Reply" button. If they can't edit, no edit option. And if you can do things already, you don't need to tell them they can do the things that they have available. It's just needless garbage that someone added because they were able to, not because it adds any usability features to the page.

And while you're at it, you might as well remove:

BBCode is ON
[img] is ON
[url] is ON
Smilies are ON

since they only show up if those options are enabled.
