I apologize if this has been brought up before, I couldn't find the answer searching the archives.

I would like to hide the username and password fields at the top of the forums from my users.

But also, as and "admin" I would need to log in, how does one accomplish this?

Thanks for some great forum software!

Chris

So how are users supposed to login, if you do that?

Yes, exactly.... it's being used more to display meeting minutes as opposed to a forum. No users will be allowed to post, but some are getting confused thinking they need to log in first.

I guess you will need to add the EZ Anonymous Posting mod. Check snitzbitz.com.

well, actually the users won't be posting at all... just viewing... i was just wondering if there was a way of hiding the username and password fields at the top of the page, since they are not being used.... thanks

Ok, so to do that, betweeb lines# 347-381, comment the lines shown:

		if (strAuthType = "db") then
	'		Response.Write	"                <td><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><b>Username:</b></font><br />" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <input type=""text"" name=""Name"" size=""10"" maxLength=""25"" value=""""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <td><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><b>Password:</b></font><br />" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <input type=""password"" name=""Password"" size=""10"" maxLength=""25"" value=""""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <td valign=""bottom"">" & vbNewLine
	'		if strGfxButtons = "1" then
	'			Response.Write	"                <input src=""" & strImageUrl & "button_login.gif"" type=""image"" border=""0"" value=""Login"" id=""submit1"" name=""Login"">" & vbNewLine
	'		else
	'			Response.Write	"                <input type=""submit"" value=""Login"" id=""submit1"" name=""submit1"">" & vbNewLine
	'		end if 
	'		Response.Write	"                </td>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"              </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"              <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <td colspan=""3"" align=""left""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <input type=""checkbox"" name=""SavePassWord"" value=""true"" tabindex=""-1"" CHECKED><b> Save Password</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine
		else
			if (strAuthType = "nt") then 
				Response.Write	"                <td><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""1""  color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>Please <a href=""policy.asp"" tabindex=""-1"">register</a> to post in these Forums</font></td>" & vbNewLine
			end if
		end if 
		Response.Write	"              </tr>" & vbNewLine
	'	if (lcase(strEmail) = "1") then
	'		Response.Write	"              <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <td colspan=""3"" align=""left""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"                <a href=""password.asp""" & dWStatus("Choose a new password if you have forgotten your current one...") & " tabindex=""-1"">Forgot your "
	'		if strAuthType = "nt" then Response.Write("Admin ")
	'		Response.Write	"Password?</a>" & vbNewLine
		if (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
				Response.Write	"                |" & vbNewLine & _
						"                <a href=""admin_home.asp""" & dWStatus("Access the Forum Admin Functions...") & " tabindex=""-1"">Admin Options</a>" & vbNewLine
			end if
	'		Response.Write	"                <br /><br /></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
	'				"              </tr>" & vbNewLine
	'	end if

I've tested this, it seems to work, even if it's not the cutest thing I've seen graphically. If you like it, ok. If you don't, I can't offer much more than this .

exactly... that's the first thing that I tried, however... some of our users just couldn't get the hang of that format.... seemed to be a little too "complicated"? for them..... long story, but thanks for the suggestion
