    Description of problem

    Hello! So, I was wondering if there's a way to remove words from the area on a post that says

    (Small Post Image) by Kelso on Mon May 23, 2016 11:00 am

    What I would like to remove is the image and the words "by Kelso on" and just keep the day, date, and time.

    Thanks for any help!

    You have to do some template editing for this Smile

    Go to
    Code:
    Admin Panel > Display > Templates > General
    and edit viewtopic_body
    Find
    Code:
    <p class="author"><img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_POST_IMG}" alt="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" title="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" />&nbsp;{L_TOPIC_BY}&nbsp;{postrow.displayed.POSTER_NAME} {postrow.displayed.POST_DATE_NEW}</p>
    And replace it by
    Code:
    <p class="author">{postrow.displayed.POST_DATE_NEW}</p>

    Hit save and don't forget to publish the template! Very Happy

    @Rhino.Freak

    Thank you!! It worked amazingly. Also, I apologize for the delay on the reply. I've been working a lot this weekend!

    I was wondering if there was a way to take out the word "on"? I know I sound very picky, haha. If not, this looks really good either way.

    Actually
    Code:
    {postrow.displayed.POST_DATE_NEW}
    is hardcoded.
    It automatically gets replaced by:
    "on 29.05.2016" or whatever the time was.

    Some JavaScript might be able to slice initial 3 characters but I don't know how to do it Razz

    Liiiiike this ?
    Code:
    <noscript>{postrow.displayed.POST_DATE_NEW}</noscript>
    <script type="text/javascript">document.write('{postrow.displayed.POST_DATE_NEW}'.replace(/^on /, ''));</script>
    Razz

    Well, I wouldn't recommend that in this case, because you can remove "on " by removing "_NEW" from the variable. Like this :
    Code:
    {postrow.displayed.POST_DATE}
