after looking at the code i rechecked my forum after logging out, i think the column you want to get rid of is the archive forum one, not the moderator one. if you do get rid of the column people wont have any link to any archived topics unless you manually put it there.
anyway to remove that column from normal member view find this in default.asp around line 315:
if (strShowModerators = "1") or (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then
Response.Write " <td align=""center"" bgcolor=""" & strHeadCellColor & """ nowrap valign=""top""><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strHeadFontColor & """>Moderator(s)</font></b></td>" & vbNewline
end if
Response.Write " <td align=""center"" bgcolor=""" & strHeadCellColor & """>"
if (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
And change it to this:
if (strShowModerators = "1") or (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then
Response.Write " <td align=""center"" bgcolor=""" & strHeadCellColor & """ nowrap valign=""top""><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strHeadFontColor & """>Moderator(s)</font></b></td>" & vbNewline
end if
if ModerateAllowed = "Y" or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
Response.Write " <td align=""center"" bgcolor=""" & strHeadCellColor & """>"
End If
if (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
Then find this around line 541:
if (strShowModerators = "1") or (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ align=""left"" valign=""top""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><span class=""spnMessageText"">" & listForumModerators(ForumID) & "</span></font></td>" & vbNewline
end if
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""top"" nowrap>"
if ModerateAllowed = "Y" or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
call ForumAdminOptions
else
call ForumMemberOptions
end if
Response.Write "</td>" & vbNewline
Response.Write " </tr>" & vbNewline
Change it to this:
if (strShowModerators = "1") or (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ align=""left"" valign=""top""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><span class=""spnMessageText"">" & listForumModerators(ForumID) & "</span></font></td>" & vbNewline
end if
if ModerateAllowed = "Y" or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""top"" nowrap>"
call ForumAdminOptions
"</td>" & vbNewline
End If
Response.Write " </tr>" & vbNewline
That should do it.
