Problem Description:
I want to start a new forum and, during the start-up phase, I don't really want to see "Members: 1 Post: 1 Topics:1"  when you open the message board (you get the drift!).

How can I hide that detail from view?
Do I have to delete code, or can I use <!-- --> type tags to temporarily hide things?

Search BoardIndex.php for:

Code Select Expand

   if ($modSettings['enableSP1Info'] != 1)
      echo "<font size=\"2\">$txt[19]: $memcount  •  $txt[95] $totalm  •  $txt[64] $totalt </font>";

And comment it out like this:

Code Select Expand

/*
   if ($modSettings['enableSP1Info'] != 1)
      echo "<font size=\"2\">$txt[19]: $memcount  •  $txt[95] $totalm  •  $txt[64] $totalt </font>";
*/

PS If you really want to suppress this kind of information, you'll also have to uncheck the following:

Show Latest Member on Board Index? and Show Members List Bar on Board Index? from Forum Preferences and Settings

Track Stats from Installed 'Mods' Settings and Options

  Thanks! You're a star. I'll try and remember me in my will; but don't get too excited 'cos I'm not intent on popping my clogs just yet!

Of course you can also get rid of this by checking Enable SP1 style statistics on board index, but the same information just reappears in a slightly different format further down the board if you do...
