I have an IPB forum, and I'm new to the software so I'm not sure if this can be done on the free forum, but here's my question:

In a post, underneath the avatar and the pip, it says "Group: X". Is there any way for me to remove that?

Thanks in advance. ♥

I was co-admin on an IPB forum a while back, so my knowlage may be a bit archaic, but I think if youi add and edit the groups and then put yopurself in one it might fix it. Once again I'm not really up to date.

I tried it and it didn't work. But thanks for your input!

You want to remove the excess beneath the avatar?

Alright, to do this, you'll need to edit the HTML templates. Go to Skins & Templates > Manage Skin Sets. In the skin you are currently using, click on the text HTML. It is displayed as such:
Edit: Wrapper · HTML · CSS · Colours · Macros

The screen should now be covered with a lot of text, boxes, etc. Hit ctrl + f and find: "Topic View Section (skin_topic.php)"

To the right, click on the text "Expand to Edit"

Find "Post Entry (function RenderRow)" Click on the text that says to edit it.

Find the part of the code that says:

Remove {$author['member_group']}

You can remove anything else as well. I usually get rid of most of that stuff since it's annoying.

For an idea of what these are:
{$author['member_rank_img']} is the pip (I'd recommend getting rid of this, since they're gross. D: Unless you USE pips of your own, these are annoying.)
{$author['member_group'] is the group, like Admin
{$author['member_posts']} displays the number of posts
{$author['member_number']} the ___th member to join. A silly feature, worth removing.
{$author['member_joined']} Join date. Also worth removing.
{$author['warn_text']} {$author['warn_minus']}{$author['warn_img']}{$author['warn_add']} Warning junk that displays yucky icons!

But I hope that helped! (:

So, I'm a total moron. x.x I have a free Invision board, not a paid one. Therefore, Tammi's amazing and step-by-step instructions aren't going to help me. I'm really sorry!
