I like this. I'm almost tempted to place it on all of my themes. It's just that I have so many, I'm not sure I have the stamina!

While all seems to be displaying correctly on all the boards & sub-boards

I'm seeking a little help to see if can stop it
displaying on the recent threads board see this post support.proboards.com/post/5369562/thread

Adding the code at the top of the board template seems to display it also on the RECENT THREADS BOARD?

See this thread for more info support.proboards.com/post/5369562/thread

I'm seeking help or any suggestions as how to stop it displaying on (the recent threads board)

Thank you for any any help & suggestions if it's possible

I have updated the template above
Thanks to David Clark for the fix
It will not now show on the recent threads board

Just recopy the code to stop it showing above the recent threads board

[Former Member]

Hi, @joecool111

I'm not having any issues with it showing on any of the profile pages
can you link to a profile page it showing it on

Steve

EDIT:  Ah I did see it on a profile when viewing the members recent threads  on your forum
when viewing a profile  - if that's what you mean

try replacing the code you have in your board template - With the code below and see if that helps
It's the same code I use on my forum and have had no problems..


{if $[route.name] != "recent_threads" && $[route.name] != "all_recent_posts" && $[route.name] != "bookmarks" && $[route.name] != "recent_posts" && $[route.name] != "recent_threads_created"}

[diydenmark]

I have tried adding this code to my forum however, I would like to add it on the homepage and not on a specific board. Will that be possible? 
I don't have enough skill to change the code even though I have tried. 

Thanks for the code

How can I unlink the "view paticipants" from the replies column. The reason why I would like it unlinked is so that I can make the columns numbers the same as the views without changing the authors and last post contributors colors? I just want the replies and views columns to match in color. That's all.
