Ok, so I've only just set up my vBulletin boards so I'm a complete n00b - so please don't hate all over me.

At the moment when someone posts, under their avatar it shows things like:

Antione! is online now
Join Date: Feb 2009
Location: Pennsylvania
Posts: 4
Antione! is on a distinguished road
Rep Power: 0
Send a message via AIM to Antione! Send a message via MSN to Antione!

How do I get rid of some of these fields from display (eg the "Online now" bit, Join Date, Location etc)? Please talk it through in detail as I am a n00b.

Many thanks.

You can find those in postbit or postbit_legacy templates, depending on what layout you use on the site.
postbit = that info across the top of the post.
postbit_legacy = down the left hand side of the post.

Retarded question #2.

How do I access the postbit templates? Are they in a folder/part of a php file?

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > find your style in the list > Edit Templates > Expand All to see all the templates - <<>>
