Hide User Info

[thunderclap82]

I'm trying to do something very specific with a particular forum. I want to limit the user info shown from the initial poster such as avatar, post count, etc., yet I want this material shown in any replies. I know this information is in the postbit template, but when ever I try to modify this is affects both the initial poster as well as the responses.

What template should I be looking at to fix this problem? I'm sure there is a way to do it, I just don't know exactly how it's done.

You would put a condition around the information your don't want shown. It sounds like already tried that though, so what condition did you try that didn't work?

(And you already mentioned it was the postbit template, so why are you asking again what template it would be?)

Because I'm trying to find out how to just hide the postpit user info just in the FIRST post... not the replies. That's what I'm interested in, and I can't figure out how to do it in postbit.

How about using $post['postcount']? See if it is equal to 1 for the first post.

It would help to see what you've already tried so we get an idea of what sort of condition you want. Or, verbalize the condition.
