Removing icons from blocks and topics

[Atomixx]

Hello! I've installed a new theme on my forum and have been trying to clean it up a bit. I'm trying to get rid of some of the icons that appear throughout the forum such as this image known as "xx.gif" and others as seen in the images below.





I want all these paper icons removed however I don't really know how. In the 3rd image I have a SimplePortal block which displays topics from a particular board and every time the paper icon is near the title of the topic. It looks much cleaner with the title alone. Additionally, on the forum where you can view the topics on a particular board, I want those removed as well (1st and 2nd images) How would I be able to completely remove them? Help would be greatly appreciated

Well, do you realize that the one you list as xx does not have to be "paper"?  That icon is selectable at post creation/edit (for example, the checkmark used here to indicate a completed thread)

The icon with an arrow in your second image is a link to the latest post in the thread. You really want to remove that functionality?


Regarding the simpleportal block...  you'd have to ask over in SimplePortal support... but it's not required to display that in a list of recent posts. (for example, the recent posts on the boardindex of your forum don't have those icons)

the icon in your third image is something else entirely... that is the category/header icon and links to the "all recent posts" page.  Again, you would remove that useful functionality?


Also, please do not cross post the same question across multiple boards (other topic deleted)

Yes I do realize that is selectable, but I wont be using this functionality.

With the second image arrow. I want to remove it so I can change the positioning of it. I don't want it to be so isolated, I want it to be right next to the "last post" thing.

I will try to contact the Simple Portal community.

Sorry for the cross post, realized my post was in the wrong category so I moved it here.

Well, to remove the whole column, you would edit messageindex.template.php
you'll have to delete the <td> with the icon... but also the <td> that makes the header and established that column...


The one in the info center would be part of boardindex.template.php

The one on the post form is post.template.php and the display of the post is display.template.php

I think you are making a mistake with the "last message in thread" icon... but that would also be in messageindex.template.php

Thanks! Will try it out
