Topic: howing whether a user is online

I turned off the feature in my admin panel that shows wther a user is online, however when I click on a topic on the left hand side it still shows whther the use is online or offline in their post. How do i remove this?

Thanks so much - the support here is awesome

Re: howing whether a user is online

In viewtopic.php, this appears to be the code that displays online status:

<div class="postfootleft"><?php if ($cur_post['poster_id'] > 1) echo '<p>'.$is_online.'</p>'; ?></div>

Removing it should prevent online status from displaying in topics. However, this may cause problems with your style, I'm really not sure. If so, I'd try leaving the empty div in, or maybe an empty div and an empty p.

Please let me know how this works out.

Re: howing whether a user is online

The option in the admin interface reads:

"Display info on the index page about guests and registered users currently browsing the forums."

So it doesn't disable the display completely, just the list on the index page.
