Can any one tell me hat is meant by a "Hidden field"?

I would also like to Remove many of the fields on the registration form, but being new to this I don't understand "replace em with hidden fields"

Thank you,

Simply comment them out...

e.g.

Original:

PHP Code:

<font size="1">Here is your standard html that will appear on the page</font> 


Commenting it out:

PHP Code:

<!-- <font size="1">Due to the tags either side of this now the html code will not be shown on the page</font> -->

Mist,

Thank you for the explanation!

Now I understand what he was saying. I would have done it this way as opposed to how I did do it, which was just to delete the unwanted fields all together from the registeradult & registercoppa templates. I hope there are no problems with just deleteing the fields. It does seem to be working just fine.

I will know next time.

Thanks again,
Robert Pfeifer

There shouldn't be problems with deleting fields. As long as they're not required

Mist,

Thank you for the help.

Since I see you are online could you answer another question for me?

Can you point me to the hach or modification that adds the yellow "online" / Black "offline indicator in the author box to the left each post (like what is on this board)

Thanks again,

Robert Pfeifer

This is simply a template modification .

Edit your postbit_online and posbit_offline templates

Mist,

I am confused.

My Vbulletin (version 2.3.0) does not show whether a user is online or offline in the author category. Do I have to activate this feature. I do have it activated on the home page to show online users but it does not show in the author category.

Thank you,
Robert Pfeifer
