How to remove threads and posts column on forumhome?

[John Diver]

Hey,

I would like to remove both colums on the forumhome, can anyone tell me where I can do it please?

I know its in forumhome category but I don't know where to edit.

I was able to remove the two columns that show posts and threads but it leaves a blank space in the design and the two columns showing the actual number of each are still there.

Thanks

Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks
John

I'm trying to do the same thing =S
at vBulletin.com this thread supposedly has the instructions for setting the column widths. However after doing them, 'threads' & 'posts' columns are still there.
I used the following in FORUMHOME and in FORUMDISPLAY templates:

       <td class="thead" width="75%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
       <td class="thead" width="25%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
       <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
       <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
       <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
       <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
       </if>
     </tr> 


As you can see 75% +25% adds up to 100% but still the 'Threads' & 'Posts' columns with the 'counts' in them are showing. I only want the forum(s) and last posts showing. What else can I try?

This might have to be tweaked to work for your version of vb, credit to original coder who ever it was, this is from like 3 or 4 years ago lol, you will have to compare it and use/modify what you need.

Step 1. In forumhome remove this:
          <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

Step 2: Find in forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

<div>
				<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
				<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
			</div>

Replace with 

<table width="100%">
                             <tr>
                      <td>
			<div>
				<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> (<b>Threads</b> $forum[threadcount] | <b>Replies</b> $forum[replycount] )
				</div></td><td align="right"><div align="right'><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

Save template

Step 3: Find in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

<div>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
			<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
		</div>

Replace with this:

<table width="100%">
                             <tr>
                      <td>
			<div>
				<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> ( <b>$forum[replycount]</b> Posts | <b>$forum[threadcount]</b> Topics )
				</div></td><td align="right"><div align="right'><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

Step 4: In forumdisplay remove:

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



Step 5:  remove from forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
