Just so it's here, to remove the ranking box, in the userpage template, remove or comment out this code:
Code:
<if condition="$canrate">
<td class="tcat" id="rate" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right"><a href="#rate">$vbphrase[rate_userpage]</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("rate"); </script>
</td>
<else />
<td class="tcat" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$rating.gif" border="0">
</td>
</if>
</tr>
</table
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="rate_menu" style="display:none">
<form action="userpage.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="rate">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="$userinfo[userid]">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[rate_userpage]<a name="goto_threadrating"></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_5.gif" alt="$vbphrase[excellent]" /><label for="vote5"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote5" value="5" $votechecked[5] />$vbphrase[excellent]</label></div>
