It has been asked many times in the How To forum: a way to switch off the bar with topic icons and the board code in the message window.
For the topic icon there is a workaround but for the board code nobody seems to have the answer.
Is it possible to have a paramameter that allows you to switch off the topic icon and a paramater to switch the boardcode?
I have unexperienced users and the get especially scared of the boardcode. The think they have to follow a programming course how to post a message.

I agree, boardcode and topic icons can confuse people!

Both can be removed by editing the files smile.class.php and fb_write.html.php

Hope that helps,

GAH! i give up. i've tried posting html/php code inside the Code bb tags 6 different ways and it never works.

Indeed ! Especially people not used to forums and things like that. And they are quite a lot...

Eeerh ! Could someone explain a little bit more to a half-newbee ? Already changed things in php files, but I'm afraid I don't understand very well what to do in smile.class.php and fb_write.html.php

Thanks a lot.
