Taking a few things out.
 

Hi I want to take a few things out of my forum,

I want to get rid of this code on the actual forum.

<img title="BlackSheepCycles Forums" src="" alt="BlackSheepCycles Forums" border="0">

I think this little bit of code in the header does it


<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>

but if I take this out it breaks my page. I think it removes all skined styles.

Also I want to get ride of this little bit of code.

<img title="Contains New Posts" src="images/statusicon/forum_new.gif" alt="Contains New Posts" border="0"></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; Forum Contains New Posts</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img title="Contains No New Posts" src="images/statusicon/forum_old.gif" alt="Contains No New Posts" border="0"></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; Forum Contains No New Posts</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td><img title="A Closed Forum" src="images/statusicon/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="A Closed Forum" border="0"></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; Forum is Closed for Posting</td>

but cant find the file where it is.

Also I would like to get rid of these in each of next to the category titles.

<img style="cursor: pointer;" title="Double-click this icon to mark this forum and its contents as read" src="images/statusicon/forum_new.gif" alt="" id="forum_statusicon_2" border="0"></td>
<td><img src="clear.gif" alt="" border="0" height="1" width="9">

Any direction on any of this would be very helpful. I'm guessing its a php file I would need to edit.

Thanks in advance.

vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> Yes
This will enable comments about which template is loaded in the source code. This will make it alot easier for you to find the right template to edit. :p
And no, its not a php file. Its in the "Styles & Templates" part of the admincp.
