How do I delete these columns from theme?

[OUTL4W]

trying to delete the 2 columns crossed off by the red X....

[Zachery]

I only see one red column. You'd need to edit the threadbit and forumdisplay templates and remove their related html calls.

Ok this is possible.

First edit the FORUMDISPLAY template, find this, it is twice in the template:

    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
    <else />
        <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
    </if>

Change them both to this:

    <!--<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
    <else />
        <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
    </if>-->

Then edit the threadbit template and find:

    <td class="alt1" id="td_threadstatusicon_$thread[realthreadid]">
        $thread[openclose_editable]
        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread$thread[statusicon].gif" id="thread_statusicon_$thread[realthreadid]" alt="<if condition="$show['threadcount']"><phrase 1="$thread[dot_count]" 2="$thread[dot_lastpost]">$vbphrase[have_x_posts_in_thread_last_y]</phrase></if>" border="" />
    </td>
    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
    </if>

And change it to this:

    <!--<td class="alt1" id="td_threadstatusicon_$thread[realthreadid]">
        $thread[openclose_editable]
        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread$thread[statusicon].gif" id="thread_statusicon_$thread[realthreadid]" alt="<if condition="$show['threadcount']"><phrase 1="$thread[dot_count]" 2="$thread[dot_lastpost]">$vbphrase[have_x_posts_in_thread_last_y]</phrase></if>" border="" />
    </td>
    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
    </if>-->

thanks ozzy for the assistance but unfortunately the result was:




here is my threadbit:

Are you sure you followed the instructions fully? The FORUMDISPLAY template has two instancs in there you need to change.

yes sir I did....
here is the result of forumdisplay also:

Strange. I wonder if your style is coded a bit different than a traditional style. Perhaps contact the style developer and ask them. Because there is no way to do it unless you are working with the style in hand.
