How To Get Rid of This

[Arrogant-One]

Hi guys

Please see the attached picture. What I'd like to do is remove the stuff highlighted in red, and collapse that area so the forums start straight away under the shoutbox. Is this possible, or do I need to be a skinning expert to achieve this?

I don't think it would be that hard to do with access to the templates. But, you are too arrogant for me to help.:D

(Just kidding)

Seriously, this is a matter of finding which template it's in, saving the entire template to your desktop to a text file so you can easily revert changes, then experimenting. It's a good way to learn code.

In the template FORUMHOME, find this bit of code:
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div>And change it to this:

<vb:comment>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div>
</vb:comment>

That worked. Thank you.

Ozzy, you are turning into the Gandolph of vBulletin. Ever the wise. :):up:Give a man some code and you fix his problem for that day. Show a man how to learn to code, and he fixes all his own problems for life...:D
