For anyone else following this thread, and wanting to also clean up their forum pages, then here are the other edits I made:

To remove Icon Legend and Posting Permissions from the Forum, I editted FORUMDISPLAY and commented the following

<!-- BLANK HERE
	<div class="options_block_container">
	<div class="options_block">
		<div class="collapse">
			<a class="collapse" id="collapse_forum_icon_legend" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseimg_info_options}_40b.png" alt="" /></a>
			<h4><span class="optiontitle">{vb:rawphrase icon_legend}</span></h4>

		<div id="forum_icon_legend" class="forum_info_block">

	<vb:if condition="$show['threadslist']">
	<div class="options_block2">

		<div id="posting_rules" class="forum_info_block">{vb:raw forumrules}</div>

        TO HERE -->
	</div>

And to remove posting permissions from Thread View, edit the SHOWTHREAD template as follows:

</div>
		</vb:if>
                <!-- FROM HERE
		<div class="options_block">
			<h4 class="collapse">
				<a class="collapse" id="collapse_posting_rules" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseimg_info_options}_40b.png" alt="" /></a>
				<span class="optiontitle">{vb:rawphrase posting_rules}</span>
			</h4>
			<div id="posting_rules" class="thread_info_block">
				{vb:raw forumrules}
			</div>
		</div>
                --TO HERE>
