This modification will REMOVE the Icon Legend found on your Forum Home page.

Pros:
Will save on bandwidth (a little)
Will make your page load quicker
Will give your forum a cleaner look

Cons:
No Legend for the absolute noob (newbie)


You should always backup before making edits.

Even if it worked fine on your test site.

In FORUMHOME in your theme (style / template)

Look for:

<div id="wgo_legend" class="wgo_subblock section">
<h3 class="blocksubhead"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/legend.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase icon_legend}" />{vb:rawphrase icon_legend}</h3>
<div>
<dl id="icon_legends" class="icon_legends">
<dt><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/forum_new-16.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase new_posts_forum}" /></dt><dd>{vb:rawphrase new_posts_forum}</dd>
<dt><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/forum_old-16.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase no_new_posts_forum}" /></dt><dd>{vb:rawphrase no_new_posts_forum}</dd>
<dt><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/category-16.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase category_forum}" /></dt><dd>{vb:rawphrase category_forum}</dd>
<dt><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/forum_link-16.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase link_forum}" /></dt><dd>{vb:rawphrase link_forum}</dd>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['pt_hasprojectforums']">
<dt><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/project_new-16.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase project_forum}" /></dt><dd>{vb:rawphrase project_forum}</dd>
</vb:if>
</dl>
</div>
</div>

DELETE It
SAVE It
Your Done

Actually, it would be wiser to enclose this in the vb:comment tags instead of removing it completely.

Care to explain....

Personally I think loading less page code is better for optimizing your community.

It's easier to remove the comment tags instead of adding back the code in case they ever want to reverse it.

Why not just hide it with css and leave the template alone

I've never tried it like that. How would you go about doing it?

As I have no idea what your talking about or how to go about that... I'll take your word for it.

But I still think removing un-needed code (in my opinion) is better, rather then adding more.

You're more then welcome to release your own modification & steps though.

Add this to your additional.css template

#wgo_legend.wgo_subblock.section{
display:none;
}

The reason I do it this way is when I update VB to the next version, it does not find a template that needs updating. I prefer not hacking templates unless extremely necessary.

I apologize for stepping on any toes here, that was not my intention. I was just trying to offer some advice that would make reverting it easier. To answer you question, wrapping it in the following is what I meant:
<vb:comment></vb:comment>

It basically comments out that block of code.

meh ..... No worries. Everyone is welcome to their opinion and also its good to learn new things.

But if you ever learn how to remove the forum legends, by removing code... As I've yet to find out how to do this.... It would be helpful. :)
