How can I hide some items in the Registration form?

[User2]

Hello, how do I hide the items in the Registration form that I have surrounded with a red frame?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

For the first one, you can try this mod Disable EMail-sending for users
For the second one, I think it's really better you leave it there.

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen, why do you suggest leaving the second item? It is difficult to remove it, which can disrupt the forum. Or do you just evaluate it as a user - do you think that it is necessary for the user?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Both, it actually has a function, and it is a valuable setting for both the users and your own protection. If you remove it, any possible newsletter you send will never reach anyone, unless you always override that and send it to all. And that could be seen as spamming.

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen, I do not have any important information on the forum and user accounts have no value either.
It's another matter if changing the forum code can break the forum code and the forum will stop working.

Okay, then if you really only want to hide the question, look for setting "Allow users to disable announcements".
Turning this off will do it so that it is not asked, and if you do decide to use the newsletters it will send out to everyone by default.

I just tested on SMF 2.0.18 (no mods installed) and even with the 'Allow users to disable announcements' setting enabled the option 'Allow the administrators to send me important news by email:' is still shown on the registration form.

No, disable it. Enabling it adds the setting in the registration form.
Edit: Also to make sure, I tested this as well with a fresh 2.0.18 just now and seems to work as intended for me.

Correct - I was looking at a different setting.

Edit: In which case the second code edit I suggested is not required ...

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen, GL700Wing, thank you.
I used the mod to disable the first item and removed the checkbox for the second item.

You are welcome
