The automatic install failed, (ie to the default theme and the sources folder), so at this stage I'm at the ugly position where I'm going to have to edit the files manually.

It can be done, it's just going to take a little bit of time... auto installers are great, but not much fun when they don't work :P

I have a Q as well.
How did you remove the post count shown?

That's a bit trickier... you need to go through your files like template.index.php, display.php etc. and remove (well... comment out might be safer) all references to the [Count Post] function. I found a thread about it with much better instructions than mine on the SMF boards. I'll see if I can dig it up for you ;)

I would very much appriciate this mate...thx

About the Bookmark Mod,
weird that you got a error when you install to the default SMF theme.
I would have to check on my board(s), but sometimes this mods work just fine even if you get the error:
"./Themes/default/index.template.php  -   Test failed"

However, you better not risk it after OFPEC just got back on track ;)
You all doing a great job as it is imho... ;)

Thanks mate...

Yeah, what really annoyed me was that all the tests were successful before the install ran.

I ran that, and nothing changed. I then realised that it had modded some files, and not others. Anyway, we'll get there... just going to take a bit of time (it's a wee way down the list of things to sort out at the moment, but it'll be back up to the top soon enough ;)).


As for removing the post count, try this thread on the smf forums.
There were a couple of other files to change in addition to that (mainly stats based ones, ie show posts when displaying user stats etc.), but that gives you a very good place to start :)

I know you guys don't want bug reports yet, because you're still actively working on all things, BUT..
The 'view all members' tab has still the default blue color. See attachment.
