Hi all,
We want our forum to be egalitarian, and for non-administrative members not to feel inhibited by the presence of those labelled "Administrator". To this end, we would like to eliminate all of the titles and stars beneath a user's name in thread views. We see how we can remove ordinary titles in the ACP under "Users & Groups" => "User titles", but how do we remove the "Administrator" label too?
Any advice greatly appreciated!

P.S. We are running a new install with version 1.8.12.
Nevermind, another clever admin on our new forum discovered the solution:
Here are the steps. (in adminstrator mode)
http://your-forum-url/admin/index.php?module=user
Select the user you are interested in - you get to the "Edit User" page.
Click the "profile" tab at the top for that user.
Below that, you see various settings.
One of them is "Primary User Group" don't change that.
Below is "Display User Group"
It will probably be set to "Use primary user group".
In that drop-down box, select "Registered".
Then save the settings, button at bottom of page, "Save User".
