Proposal to Eliminate Thread Icons Column

What is on Your Mind?
1

Without objection, open to comments, I would like to eliminate this column in various views that show topics and threads (forum view, search results, etc).

Hello Neo,

IMHO, they are ok they could be there.

Thanks,

Hi Neo...

I agree with Ravinder here they are OK AFAIAC.

Hmmm.

Seems to me people rarely uses these "thread icons" and the column is mostly blank, so it just creates a blank column with a few icons here and there without a clear function or purpose, LOL

I don't rate those columns value adding; for me, both can go away.

Yeah, I don't understand why value these "thread icons" have, TBH.

What is the value of them? Just for fun? Useful for ... ?

Yes, but what is the value of them? They add what value ?

OK but what good are they? For....... ???

FWIW, I'm up for eliminating that column. Seems like a waste of space.

So far we have 3 comments to eliminate, 2 votes to keep.

+1 for taking them out - I don't see informational add-on values....

OK.

They are "gone" unless we get a lot of complaints to turn them back on.

Which I doubt ... LOL

Set to false (in read) in PHP:

404.php: $show['threadicons'] = true;
404.php:	if (!$show['threadicons'])
forumdisplay.php://$show['threadicons'] = iif ($foruminfo['allowicons'], true, false);
forumdisplay.php:$show['threadicons'] = false;
forumdisplay.php:	if ($show['threadicons'] AND $show['inlinemod'])
forumdisplay.php:	else if (!$show['threadicons'] AND !$show['inlinemod'])
gsearch.php:					$show['threadicons'] = true;
gsearch.php:	if (!$show['threadicons'])
moderation.php:		$show['threadicons'] = false;
moderation.php:			if (!$show['threadicons'] AND ($vbulletin->forumcache["$thread[forumid]"]['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['allowicons']))
moderation.php:				$show['threadicons'] = true;
search.neo.php:					$show['threadicons'] = true;
search.neo.php:	if (!$show['threadicons'])
search.php:					//$show['threadicons'] = true;
search.php:					$show['threadicons'] = false;
search.php:	if (!$show['threadicons'])
subscription.php:		$show['threadicons'] = false;
subscription.php:				//$show['threadicons'] = true;
subscription.php:				$show['threadicons'] = false;
tags.php:			//$show['threadicons'] = true;
tags.php:			$show['threadicons'] = false;
tags.php:	if ($show['threadicons'])
usercp.php:				$show['threadicons'] = true;

Maybe will comment out the rest later if I see them ...
