Remove the 'Thread Views' column

What does this do?
Many people feel that they don't really need the 'Thread views' column and that it is just getting in the way. All this template mod does is removes that column. Its as easy as that.

How do I install this?
Follow the template changes which are shown in the file below.

Support is given to those who click install!

Nice idea... good job!

Yeah, someone requested it in the 'Modification Not Available' forum and I told them how to do it then thought I'd release it xD

Just a problem with the explaination.
When you say:

3. In your FORUMDISPLAY template find;
------------------------------
<option value="views" $sort[views]>Number of Views</option>

It's false on vb 3.6.8, it must be:

3. In your FORUMDISPLAY template find;
------------------------------
<option value="views" $sort[views]>$vbphrase[number_of_views]</option>

Great hack, thanks

Hey sorry I didn't look at this thread for so long, Im running 3.6.8 and that currently isn't a phrase so I'm going to just leave it be. If anybody else makes me aware of this problem I will fix it.

If we only require administrator or staff to be able to view "Thread Views Column" is this possible /

I installed this on 3.6.8 except your last step I had to add back because it took all my forum names away. So I added it back and it all works fine now.

Thanks and *installed*.

Just what I needed! It works on 3.7.4. Thanks.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
