i had seen that there is not much use of post icons for me and it looks ugly to have dummy blocks that we dont use much.

So how can we remove the feature of selecting the post icons in the new thread and also the post icon block in the threadlist display in forum.

Go to --> ACP --> Styles & Template --> Templates --> Template Name --> New thread templates --> Find "posticons" and delete it.

Go to --> ACP --> Styles & Template --> Templates --> Template Name --> New reply templates --> Find "posticons" and delete it.


As for removing from forum display, I'm not sure, try this though:


Go to --> ACP --> Styles & Template --> Templates --> Template Name --> Forum Display templates --> Find "posticons" and delete it.

thanks igeorge, new thread, new reply removal is fine but forum display is not achieved
You didn't really need to edit the newthread and newreply templates, you can just turn them off on a per forum basis and then they wouldn't be shown.

This following might not be exact, depending on your theme but...

In forumdisplay_thread find and delete:
	<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}{$thread_type_class}" width="2%">{$icon}</td>

In forumdisplay_threadlist find:
<td class="tcat" colspan="3" width="66%">

Replace with:
<td class="tcat" colspan="2" width="66%">
Thanks AJS
how to make the
Yes, allow post icons to be chosen for posts
option disabled by default in miscellaneous forum option?
Run this in phpMyAdmin to turn them off for ALL forums:
UPDATE `mybb_forums` SET `allowpicons` = '0'
Ok. How about new forums? When we create new forum, that post icons option is activated by default. Can we deactivate it by default?
It's not possible without core edits or possibly a plugin. It's easy enough to untick it when creating a new forum though. Or if you're creating a lot of new forums just run that query again afterwards.
Ohk. Thanks.
Later option is better as we cant achieve it without coredits
To turn off posticons at default

Simple edit /mybb/admin/modules/forum/management.php

Look for
		$forum_data['allowpicons'] = 1;

Change to
		$forum_data['allowpicons'] = 0;

Save the changes and make a new forum and check for yourself! Wink
