@ robert_2004: it just removes the displayed info and does not touch the php code therefore does not reduce the amount of queries.

@chadi: via conditional - yes. Am I writing it - No.

Thanks. I'm trying to "prune" all the non-essentials like "Display Options", most menus, welcome message and such.
This will help.

That's what I'd like too.

Is it just a matter of doing only the modifications on the forumhome template?

Also, I'm using 3.5.1 and could not find the following in FORUMHOME

FIND



  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>

	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>



DELETE IT

If you have modified templates, then code could be in different places.

Please note this this modification is unsupported, and that no updates are planned for it.

Could you just edit the forumhome, forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates of your Mod to take threads and posts off of the forumhome only?

Would this work?

I just don't like getting rid of the reply counts in forumdisplay.

It should do, logically there is no reason why it wouldn't

Can Someone Do This For 3.60.

[peterska2]

I have not tried it, but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Try it on a test style first though.

Porting of this modification to 3.6 will be done by myself if required as soon as I get some free time available where I also have a net connection and am therefore able to do so. Permission will not be given to anyone else to port it.
