MyBB Community Forums

In the admin CP index, is there any way that I can completely delete the box that displays the "Latest MyBB Announcements?"

I need to do this because it uses the link http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyBBDevelopmentBlog/~3/ and my host has the word "proxy" blacklisted and wont let the page load if it is there.

P.S. I need to do this without going into the admin CP.

you can try this method
open ~/admin/modules/home/index.php file in a text editor (eg. notepad++)
near the bottom of file, find news widget code segment which begins with // Latest news widget and ends with echo '</div>';
comment out that news widget code segment like below and save the file.

/*
// Latest news widget
...
..
..
...
echo '</div>';
