Which file to look at to remove stats from board index

How do I remove from the main forum index the right aligned div that displays "Members: x  •  Posts: x  •  Topics: x", where x is the number of. If you copy the link below and put it in the address bar you will see it directly under the forum search field and button.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi, It's there because you disabled the info box at the bottom.

BoardIndex.template.php in the theme you are using or in the default theme if not there. Right at the top, find and comment out or remove the folowing.

Code Select Expand

if (!$settings['show_sp1_info'])
echo '
', $txt[19], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], '  •  ', $txt[95], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], '  •  ', $txt[64], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], '
', ($settings['show_latest_member'] ? '<br />' . $txt[201] . ' <b>' . $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'] . '</b>' . $txt[581] : '');

Trying to remove stats information

Hello,

I am tring to remove the stats information from the main forum index the right aligned div that displays "Members: x  •  Posts: x  •  Topics: x", where x is the number of. If you copy the link below and put it in the address bar you will see it directly under the forum search field and button.


I am using the following version, set in the default theme.

Version Information:

Current SMF version: SMF 1.1.10


I have removed the following information, but it did not remove the stats.


   if (!$settings['show_sp1_info'])
      echo '
            ', $txt[19], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], '  •  ', $txt[95], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], '  •  ', $txt[64], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], '
            ', ($settings['show_latest_member'] ? '<br />' . $txt[201] . ' <b>' . $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'] . '</b>' . $txt[581] : '');

Are you using a custom theme? I note you've said you've edited that, but if you edited the default theme but are using a custom theme you'll have to edit the custom theme.

That section is what displays that info at the top if the info box is turned off.

Look further down near the bottom of the page.

Hi, It's there because you disabled the info box at the bottom.

Crazy that when we turn it off at the bottom its for a reason, only to find that it appears at the top instead, why does off not mean off!

Its very off putting on fledgling forums when prospective members see a mere handful of members, needless to say they would go elsewhere.
