Completely removing the Instant Messaging Fields in user profile

[GeorgeB85]

I have tried to look, and cannot figure out how to remove all the Instant Messaging fields in the user profile area.

Not that I have extensively checked the templates, but I do not see social bookmarks on the default vBulletin style in user profile.

Are you on a custom style?
Is that part of a modification you loaded?

I am working with the original templates. All I have done is change the colors in some areas, and added a couple of images. This particular area has nothing to do with what I have done though.

The attached picture shows the area in the edit profile area that I am trying to get taken out.

Okay, I was looking in the wrong place. It is a good idea to give us a path to the page you are viewing and a picture. It helps us out. Thanks.

You are looking for template "modify_profile".

Search the template for: (This is the block of code you are looking for.)

 
   <legend>{vb:rawphrase instant_messaging}</legend>

Surround the block of code with either "<vb:comment> block of code </vb:comment>" tags or a conditional.

<vb:comment>
            <fieldset class="blockrow">
                <legend>{vb:rawphrase instant_messaging}</legend>
                <ul class="group">
                    <li>
                        <label for="icq">{vb:rawphrase icq_number}:</label>
                        <input type="text" class="primary textbox" id="icq" name="icq" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.icq}" maxlength="30" dir="ltr" tabindex="1" />
