[plug] phpBB question

[Mark Dixon]

One way to do it is just to remove those icons and links.  The following 
should work for that:

1. Make a copy of the file ../templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl 
(relative to the directory in which you installed phpBB.  This is a 
backup incase the following steps do more harm than good.

2. Open that file with a text editor.

3. Search for "U_MEMBERLIST".  Remove from the "<a href" before that 
keyword down to the "</a>" which follows "L_USERGROUPS" (that's about 
370 characters or very roughly 4 lines of html text that you remove).

4. Save the file.

5. Browse to your phpBB - you should find the two icons for Memberlist 
and for Usergroups are now gone.  If so, enjoy!

6. If that does not work you can just copy the backup file you made in 
step 1 back to the original file name to restore the damage.
