How can I hide/remove/disable "forums views" in vbulletin?

Question

anyone have an idea how to do this. i need to get rid of forum views either by hide, delete, disable or any other way.

Answer 1

I assume you mean THREAD views in the text below:

Do a template search for $thread[views], and there should be a template called threadbit. If you want to quickly and easily obscure the views just delete $thread[views] and replace with   or asterisks, or whatever you'd like.

If you want to remove the whole <td> it becomes more complicated. First you remove that <td>, and then in FORUMDISPLAY template you have to remove the <td> that contains $vbphrase[views] (do a search for it if you can't find it).

But I believe there may be some issue with removing that entire column, and any of the hardcoded colspan attributes among the templates. If so then you would have to reduce the colspan number by one. I'm not sure about the colspan part, it's been a long time since I edited the FORUMDISPLAY and threadbit templates.

Also, you will need to remove the Views from another location in the threadbit template:

title="<phrase 1="$thread[replycount]" 2="$thread[views]"

This shows up when you hover on top of the Last Post column. Just delete $thread[views] and it will show up blank.

i was thinking of going 1 step futher and swapping the word hidden for a picture? I used the word hidden just as a test to see if it would work which it does
