In your template
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
Replace the following code
PHP Code:
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
PHP Code:
<td> </td>
Now look through the 3 other templates that are like that one,
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost,
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
and remove the code, it should be the first <td> statement in the template, if this does not remove them far enough back, you can delete the <td> all together but you'll have to locate n your Forumhome and Forumdisplay where the Header to the forum table is and remove <td> </td> from there.
