MyBB Community Forums

My forum experience it's only a few days now. Sorry for my very noob questions.

I want to create a forum with very little options because I want the forum to be very user friendly and I want it to look as clean as possible.

I've been able to modify almost everything what I wanted to modify but I got stock here.

I want to remove the option "Mark this forum read".

At least I was able to remove the option "Subscribe to this forum" by removing the following code from the FTP file "forumdisplay.php".

// If there are no unread threads in this forum and no unread child forums - mark it as read
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/functions_indicators.php";

$unread_threads = fetch_unread_count($fid);
if($unread_threads !== false && $unread_threads == 0 && empty($unread_forums))
{
	mark_forum_read($fid);
}

// Subscription status
$add_remove_subscription = 'add';
$add_remove_subscription_text = $lang->subscribe_forum;

if($mybb->user['uid'])
{
	$query = $db->simple_select("forumsubscriptions", "fid", "fid='".$fid."' AND uid='{$mybb->user['uid']}'", array('limit' => 1));

	if($db->fetch_field($query, 'fid'))
	{
		$add_remove_subscription = 'remove';
		$add_remove_subscription_text = $lang->unsubscribe_forum;
	}
}

Here are the pictures with the option and without.

But how can I remove the option "Mark this forum read"?

Thank you very much!! !

You can just take it out of the template - I think that is in the forumdisplay_threadlist template.

Thanks! I will try that tomorrow!

If it's there I think I should be more patient with the tamplates and take a closer look.

It's just hard to figure out which tamplate is the one to modify since there are hundreds of them.

Thanks again! Leefish!

What you can do is if you go to the Home » Board Settings » Server and Optimization Options in Admin panel and set the Output template start/end comments? to YES then when you use the browser tools to inspect your page it will show which template is being used in the HTML. This helps a lot to find which template is which.
