removing the user info and search2

[AllanD]

How would i go about removing the user info and search in the header area?

[MrGrumpy]

first thing you would do to remove the user info is to give people a bit of information so they are able to help you as we aren't mind readers

what SMF version?
what theme?
what part of the header info do you want removed - avatar? username/welcome? search? news? date?

[AllanD]

sorry the theme is curve on 2.o rc 5 and i wanted to remove everything in the top part.News, search, user info etc etc...

[MrGrumpy]

Are you planning on using the header space for something else or do you just want to remove the info from that section - reason I ask is that there is a collapse for that section of the theme and if you just want to get rid of the header it would be wise to remove the collapse too as it will be redundant

[AllanD]

i removed the collapse and the smf logo already.
I 'm try  to make my own theme but i'm not good at coding at all.
so i was hoping to add a banner image after i clear that info out.

[MrGrumpy]

Ah ok, you want to look at changing
