Hide forum Stats--changed in permissions, but still visible

[PenelopeQ]

I did a search and found out how to hide the statistics.

Admin--> Permissions--> General
Then select the user type to modify and there is a check box.

But when I logout and view as a guest or login with my general test-user account, I can still see the stats. Does it take time to refresh? I rechecked the settings that I changed and they look fine.

Sometimes users are (unexpected) in more than one usergroup. In that case they'll have the permissions of both usergroups.

[PenelopeQ]

But I removed the permissions from the groups--guests and regular members. There are not other groups and I checked it by logging out and viewing as a guest. A guest should not be in any other group.

Which stats are you speaking about? action=stats or the stats on the forum index?

[PenelopeQ]

I want to hide the stats at the bottom right corner.

I just looked at the permissions  again. The little question mark by the stat describes it as this:

The forum statistics is a page summarizing all statistics of the forum, like member count, daily number of posts, and several top 10 statistics. Enabling this permission adds a link to the bottom of the board index ('[More Stats]').

Which seems to mean it will show the stats, but not additional stats.

So how do I hide the stats that are like a teaser at the bottom?

That worked, but is there anyway to hide the users stats too--users online now, most ever etc.?
I though all of that was part of the other stat data.

If you want to hide everything on the bottom, find this:

Code Select Expand

template_info_center();
And replace with:

Code Select Expand

// template_info_center();

[PenelopeQ]

Okay, where do I find that?

[Yağız...]

Ooops sorry In ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php

[PenelopeQ]

Awesome!

Thank You.

That was helpful, but would it be possible to replicate the more advanced features from this post (which relates only to SMF 1.1.x)
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=402403.0

Would the same code be usable on SMF 2.0 RC3? I am looking for a way to implement the same behavior on SMF 2.0 RC3, that is, allow only certain membergroups to see the stats center completely, while other membergroups do not see the stats center at all.
Thanks for the help.
