How to get rid of the 'users viewing' popups above boards

[birdnie]

Hi! I recently discovered that my forum will show a users viewing popup whenever someone is in the board. This messes with my description image plugin, and I would like to see if there is a way to remove that from happening! Thank you!

In your admin panel, head over to structure > layout templates.

Select the "Board List" option. On the next page you'll see a bunch of code with tabs at the top. Select the "Board List" tab.

Find the following line and delete it (be careful when deleting that you're not deleting anything else!):


<span class="link">$[board]</span>{if $[board.num_viewing]}<span class="viewing"> - $[board.num_viewing] Viewing</span>{/if}<br />

It's fixed! Thanks so much, you're awesome!

birdnie - See, when I said be careful I should have taken my own advice -- I accidentally had you delete the actual board name itself!

Is that OK, or would you like to add it back in just in case you need it?

Oh, so I was in a rush when I said it was solved, and didn't check the whole result. Now that I am back, I realize that the entire forum lost its board headers, not just that board. I probably need that fixed yea.

The forum is amrys.boards.net/

Yeah that's totally my bad.

So there are two options:

1. If you haven't touched this section of the forum before / did not download a custom theme that changed the layout of the boards, you can click the "reset this template" button at the top of the page to undo it. Next, find the same line as before, but this time only remove this portion:

{if $[board.num_viewing]}<span class="viewing"> - $[board.num_viewing] Viewing</span>{/if}

2. If you have a custom theme or have edited this template before, then instead find this line:

<td class="main clickable">

Make a new line under it, then add this back in:

<span class="link">$[board]</span>

Looks like it's fixed now! Thanks! Hopefully nothing wonky will surface this time.

No worries! Sorry for the earlier mistake :D
