Thanks!

Hi pitszal

If you want to remove the folder icons that appear to the left of each board in the boards list in the various categories on the Home page, a very easy way to do that is to add a modification at the bottom of your Style Sheet for the theme.

To remove the folder images and leave the cells in that column empty, add this:
/* Modification to remove folder icons from Boards list of Categories */
.container.boards td.icon img{
   display:none;
}
/*End of Section */

To remove the folder images and eliminate that column, use this instead:
/* Modification to remove Icon column from Boards list of Categories */
.container.boards th.icon,
.container.boards td.icon{
   display:none;
}
/* End of Section */

Please let me know if this gets you where you want to go.

Hi Retread

I have 1 more question how can I eliminate the text Board/Threads/Posts/ Last post and the #'s underneath them
How Can I just have the time stamp and the user name  and not the name of the posts?

pitszal , the column headings serve an important purpose. For people less familiar with forums, they make it more clear what's in those columns. Removing the name/link to the most recent thread removes a convenient way to navigate.

Because of this, I've separated the modifications into 3 separate sections. The first seems rather benign to me. What it removes isn't terribly important information.

Add the second and/or third modifications if you like, although I would recommend against them.

/* Modification to remove Threads column and Posts column from Boards list of Categories */
.container.boards th.posts,
.container.boards td.posts,
.container.boards th.threads,
.container.boards td.threads{
   display:none;
}
/* End of Section */

/* Modification to remove ROW containing ALL Table Headings from Boards list of Categories */
.container.boards table:first-of-type tr:first-of-type{
   display:none;
}
/* End of Section */

/* Modification to remove thread title link from Last Post column of Boards list of Categories */
.container.boards td.latest.last a.js-thread__title-link,
.container.boards td.latest.last br:first-of-type{
   display:none;
}
/* End of Section */

Hu
First I would like to thank you for your very appreciated help. It all started because I was trying to make a new theme and I messed up the whole board   You are a life saver and I can't thank you enough.  I do have a few more Question's. 



How do I eliminate the section in green?





This is a board category that somehow went to the left side instead of with the other ones. 

How do I change the color of the member names on the main Paige

 Thanks again Retread

Hi Bob

I appreciate your input believe it or not I am doing ok. I have gotten my board to about 90% the way I want it to be. I have had this forum for over 10 years. You are probably saying why doesn't she know, what she is doing by now. People have things going on in their life that are problematic like the death of a husband, ( a year ago) Isolation due to covid so the mind get's clouded. I must say that some of the members here are downright rude and condescending not all though some are helpful and mean well. The admins have been very helpful. Hopefully someone/admin  can help me instead of giving me a lecture. (not you). Thanks again Bob for your input

Removing the first row of the Stats would be difficult with CSS. There might be a way of targeting just that row, but if there is, it's beyond my skills.

You'll need to make a modification to your Home layout template.

From your Admin panel, navigate:
Admin Home> Themes> Layout Templates
Select the desired theme from the dropdown to the right of Current Theme
Click on Home
Copy the entire contents of the Home layout template to a Notepad file and save the file.
This ^ is an important step because I don't know if your template is currently stock or if it has modifications.
I've prepared a stock Home layout template with the portion that creates the first row (line 31 through line 67) commented out. <!-- -->
Replace the contents of your Home layout template with this:

SPOILER: Click to show

$[news]
{foreach $[category]}
$[category.anchor]
<div class="container boards">
<div class="title-bar bbcode"><h2><div class="title_wrapper">$[category.display_name]</div></h2></div>

I won't be able to help you with this as I can't view your forum. Also, we're moving far away from the original issue of removing elements from the Home page.

The member names (for regular members) on the Home page will be the same as any link on the Home page. To change color of links,

From your Admin panel, navigate:
Admin Home> Themes> Advanced Styles & CSS remain on the Visual Editor tab.
Select the desired theme from the dropdown to the right of Current Theme.
Click on Body (Content). That section will expand.
Click on Containers. That section will expand.
Click on Content Area Containers. That section will expand.
Click on Text. That section will expand.
Click on Links. That section will expand.
Use the color selector to the right of Text Color and adjust to the desired color. Then click OK.
Then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page or the Save Theme button near the top.


The name color for members who are in Groups is handled in the Member Groups section of your admin panel. I see you already have a thread for that on the Support Board so I won't address that here.

Hi Retread

On top of my headers I noticed a word in Black that reads: "PITSZAL &  PAL'S" in large bold letters
Can that be removed?

Thanks.

I have 2 things that lead me to the home page
