Thanks for such a great tutorial however you have missed this one!!!

In showthread_similarthreads_bit template

Remove

<td align="center" class="{$trow}" width="2%">{$icon}</td>

In showthread_similarthreads template

Find

<td class="tcat" align="center" colspan="2">

And replace with

<td class="tcat" align="center" colspan="1">

Awsome tutorial. Thankyou

This is great, post icons are one of the most unnecessary features. So thanks.

I have followed all the instruction up to the 'conclusion' which I don't know how to do. Any help for a complete noob on this would be appreciated.

See http://community.mybb.com/thread-4720.html

If you can't find phpMyAdmin (or a similar tool) ask your web host.

Is it possible to do this "quick & dirty" and just do #1-4 in your directions above so the silly icons don't show. It seems to be working fine for my needs.

For MyBB 1.6 was
UPDATE mybb_threads SET icon = '';
UPDATE mybb_posts SET icon = '';
UPDATE mybb_privatemessages SET icon = '';

It don't work in mybb 1.8
